As you might expect, the beaches are flanked by a combination of hotels, restaurants, amusements and other typical seaside amenities.

The best fishing in the region though can be found on the back of a boat. Charter fishing boats are in plentiful supply, meaning you can head out onto the sea and try your hand at netting Blackfin Tuna or Red Snapper. You don’t have to be a fisherman to enjoy the Gulf either. Sightseeing cruises prove popular with visitors, not least because the local coastline, and the wildlife it collects, is fairly attractive.
