A good place to visit with pleasant walks along the beach or the paths along the cliffs. The beach is a mixture of sand, chalk boulders & rocks. Plenty of interest to suit all ages. The walk down & up is fairly steep though.

Quite a contrast to the south beach at Bridlington. More in the way of coarse sand & large pebbles in places, also many groynes so has more character than the flat sandy south beach.

A great experience in Arenal NP. Well maintained trails & good view points of the volcano which was capped in cloud when we visited. Not much wildlife to see but a good half-day visit.

An excellent boat trip in the Tortuguero channels which was not to far from our lodge. Unfortunately it rained heavily for sometime during our excursion & we would have probably seen more wildlife if it had been dryer, but we were on the Costa Rican Caribbean coast so lots of rain is to be expected. Rainproof ponchos are provided which helped to keep us reasonably dry. Excursion not to be missed.

A large place of worship with a nice high wooden ceiling.The windows are set high in the walls & give good natural light. In the centre or Fiesole opposite the bus stand. Recommended to visit.
