You can take the bus back to the hotel if you are not a beach person or hang out on the beach and take an inexpensive taxi or the local bus back. This beach is unusual because it has black swans. Please don’t mess with them; they only bite tourists. There are taxi and bus pickup locations near the beach. Alex, Leighann, and I can help you with that. Dinner is on your own that evening; there are plenty of places to enjoy a meal and drinks. Perry will give you a stipend for food that evening; do what you want with it if you are too full to put another morsel in your mouth, buy a souvenir.
