About

Great place for watching hippos up close, with fishermen offering boat safaris that are very cool. Access to the beach is down a narrow road that's not as wide and open as it used to be. Still a good spot to catch a ride on the water.

Access to the beach is down a narrow road with a brick wall to the left. Not wide and open like it used to be. Not as scenic but still a good place to catch a boat ride from.
