I agree about the beach. I love it when I am the only person there, during moments when others would say the weather is not beach weather. Then the ocean is gorgeous. Taking the kids to the ocean was a nightmare of work to get there, be there, get home, and then several days of trying to rid my house of sand everywhere.
I would love to swim in that lagoon during a good year though. I'll bet that is wonderful.
Once I was there around February. It was damn cold, windy and only one more person, besides me, walking the dog was in sight. It was amazing! :D
Oh the sand all over the place after... grrr :p
People were swimming there now too. There are parts very shallow so for kids it is pretty safe. And now ocean waves. Maybe they don't get bothered much by the algae.
But I remember the previous time the water was clean and fresh. So much nicer. I could also see lots of tiny fish and crabs, which was almost impossible now.
