Parks & Nature
The Catamaran is on the sand on the Bay side. Tables and chairs (with umbrellas) on the sand by the water are open to the public (mandated so the Catamaran may also provide these facilities to their paying guests) as are their food and bar services. Budget friendly if one just uses the tables and chairs. Bar and food is good but at resort prices.
