Have to check out Seastar one trip to see what the deal is. I hate walking on the sand into the sea for fear of stepping on something thats why i like to jump into deep water and instantly snorkel. Of the five whole days we are there usually we end up at the beach two or three of them. When we have had enough of the fuss, we retreat. Works for us. The beach is defintiely the spot to people watch, but to vacation; its the cliffs hands down.
