This picturesque estuary is a haven for nature lovers, offering a tranquil setting surrounded by golden beaches, rolling sand dunes, and lush indigenous forests. The lagoon’s calm waters and diverse ecosystems make it a popular destination for boating, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing.
