Protected by Peterborg peninsula and Tropaco Point, Scope out a spot to lay your towel down or rent a beach chair and umbrella from local vendors.

After working on your tan for a bit, go for a swim and watch the fishing boats out at the edge of the bay. Stroll along a nature trail through a collection of exotic trees and plants at the arboretum.
