              Today is a free day to enjoy the beach and the activities available on the island. You can take a short boat trip out to Johnny Cay where it is possible to see more than 30 different species of fish. The island has an area called “playa de cedro” which protects the beaches from waves and strong winds, making this a refuge for many sea birds.
