Choosing the right beach is everything. Take a cab to Mullett beach and you will LOVE it!

Traveler Photos

Feed the pigeons! There is a great spot on the way to the fort and th epigons are VERY friendly and you buy food right there for them and they love it! Not for people who hate the Hitchcock movie "The Birds". The atrium was beautiful. Great centerpiece! Our collection! We loved finding these on our bed every evening when we got back!
