More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ATV onto warm, powdery dunes that slope toward a bright horizon; wind tugs at your water bottle and the bay ahead seems to invite you. Guides hand over sandboards, show a stance, then the dune leans—gravity does the rest. Laughter and a little sand spray mark the first descent.
