Manta Rays! At night the resort shines lights into the water, this attracts plankton which attracts Mantas! (most nights) View them from the deck. FYI Less chance of seeing them at the full moon. You can also have a high priced burger & drinks! ( reservation best for dining at Ray's)

Good picnic spot to eat your burrito from Killer Tacos or breakfast from McD's. Walk the shoreline, checkout tide pools , watch surfers. Sunsets! Go far down past soccer fields beyond the fence, you are on the old runway. Far down the runway on the left, you can see the restrooms & tables. The beach is not swim friendly. Also has a Community garden on far right.
