πŸ‘πŸ‘ I loved our visit today! Even though it was a crowded tour, they had several guides and didn't rush us. Sandra was a knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot.

North Beach Guana River Preserve
Beach
πŸ‘πŸ‘ This beach is the perfect little hidden gem. Tucked away from the rest of the beaches up above it, there are no houses along the beach and it is much less developed.
