The same shores which have lured world travelers from the most distant corners of the world serve as workplace and home for fishing villagers carrying on traditional methods with lifestyles barely touched by time.
Local school kids take field trips ...
Families take outings ...
City dwellers take retreats
Inland villagers take holidays ... all to the beach where the unique tropical setting of the sea, sand and panoramic sky always beckons, and the rewards of pure organic beauty never disappoint.
