Cahuita National Park

While you could consider today a beach day, it turned into more than what we expected.

The part in on a peninsula with a reef extending off the tip. It creates a sheltered bay where the swimming is excellent with warm Caribbean water and moderate waves.  Before we hit the water, a few of us took our tour director up on an offer of a hike.  As we headed along the waters edge towards the tip of the peninsula we encountered more wildlife than we experienced on the whole trip.

If this wasn’t enough, a white faced monkey was hanging around our beach site providing plenty of entertainment. 

For hours the kids played in the waves, swam in the water sprawled on the sand.  I think with how busy they’ve been on previous days they didn’t know what to do with all this time to themselves.

The kids spent way too much time out in the water and on the beach.  I think you might be able to pick the lobster out of the crowd!
