Creator's Key Takeaways

the pier is very very long so lots of people that were getting off with us didn't realized that they had to walk such a long ways

we were able to just take a l lap around the PT and see what was there so we got to watch the Dolphins play around

it was worth it it was cool to see all the different species of birds

we never felt unsafe and we went really far away from the port

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan for a long walk on the pier; consider using the trolley if available.
Bring bathing suits to use the pool areas at the port.
Be cautious with currency; take smaller bills as American change may be scarce away from the port.
Book an excursion outside the port if you want to snorkel or visit a real beach.
