We decided we needed a beach day so we cancelled our excursion to avoid the bus ride and crowds. The end result was a nice day on the beach. However, we were harrased by the locals to buy their things and the would not take no for an answer. When we asked them where the extrance to the beach was they all said down to the right. I finally asked a police officer and he sent us back in the opposite direction! Mmmm not good! Anyhow we found the beach and got us a local vender who set us up with beach cahirs, umbrella and a bucket of beer. He even ran out and git us some local jerk chicken. This proved to be a good move, because my girlfriend decided to go out and do some shopping and if it was not for our helper David who came to her rescue she may not have made it back...just saying! She was immediately harrased by the locals who kept trying tho get her to come with them. David stepped in and took her shopping nad they still harrased him too! So in the long run of it NOT OURFAVORITE PORT!

Enjoyed our shore excursion to The Monkey River and the second was a barrier reef snorkel.
