Imagine walking down the short path from the rancho to the beach area for a swim in the warm, clear water of the Golfo Dulce. Although the Golfo has high and low tides, it does not have ocean waves, so the water is peaceful and calm for swimming or for floating. Herons and egrets fish in the Golfo. You may see the local people fishing in front of the mangroves during the changing tides. We frequently have seen dolphins swimming past the beach area in the Golfo Dulce.
