Visits
- 2025-03-26: We had some time to kill in the afternoon, so we decided to walk to a nearby beach. The "secret" beach. To get to the beach, we walked past the desalinization plant, through a dumping site, and finally waded through some mangrove to get to the beach. When we got there, we saw that there was a road going directly to the beach. Anyway, it was awesome to swim listening to the roar to fresh water production and the wash of jets taking off from the airport.
