In early December we travelled with our neighbours, Mark and Julia, to beaches Camaronal & Punta Islita. Camaronal is the beach that we overlook from our house and is the turtle nesting grounds. It is an isolated beach with black sand and large expansive fields leading up to it. Most of this area is protected and therefore will stay quite "wild" looking. The beach is famous also for its surf and there are many who
travel here just to surf. To get there from our house you have to cross a river which is quite wide but manageable with a 4x4 now that we are into the dry season. Here are a couple pictures of Camaronal beach; some driftwood and a huge bunch of cactus. Andrew is now about 5' 4", certainly taller than his mother and Austin is up to my chin.
Punta Islita has a beautiful hotel and golf course and a charming small town square. Here is a picture of the church, waterfall just outside of town and a picture of the bay from high above at the restaurant. We had a wonderful lunch up top and a quick dip in the bay prior to a downfall of rain - where is that dry season they all talk about?
