The beach is so beautiful at Punta Sur. There are hardly any waves and the access is easy. You can swim out to the reef or hire a man to take you out in a kayak where you can swim over the giant fans and see many of the sea creatures you'd see diving. There are lots of other things... More

$12 apiece seemed a bit pricy for admission to a park and it is evident that none of those dollars goes towards road maintenance. The wildlife refuge is still young and has a way to go but the beach, billed as the "most beautiful beach" is truly worth the bumpy ride and cost of admission. More

Great that the island has set aside this nature reserve. Worth a visit to see the (ever-more-rare) American crocodile. Nice but small beach/swim area. Hoped to see more birds in and around the lagoons (nice viewing tower), but it's a reserve, not a zoo... More

This park was lots of fun. All of the attendants were friendly and helpful. The views from the lighthouse were wonderful. The beach was beautiful. We saw two crocidiles and other wild life, A great time and not too expensive. More

Rent a car and spend a few hours here, great beach, fabulous snorkeling, ask a park guide to point you to the reef... it's a bit of a swim out to the reef but WELL worth it. Great views from the lighthouse. You will want a car with AC... saw some of the tours with 15-20 people on open back... More

Admission is now $12 usd per person, you drive yourself to beach location. Get a umbrella or you will burn, they have food and drinks. Beer is 3 dollars and snacks are around the same. You can get a snorkel guide and swim the protected waters. Seen barracuda, stingrays and many fish. They will advise if the snorkeling is good... More
