During my time as a volunteer at CIRENAS, I had the pleasure of experiencing the beauty of the animal reserve beach. The beach is home to a variety of turtles and other small animals, making it a truly unique and unforgettable destination. As you make your way towards the end of the beach, you'll come across the Bongo river, but be sure to keep an eye out for the crocodiles that call it home. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for any nature lover looking for a one-of-a-kind experience.
