Went there just out of high school in 1973 with about a dozen teens and 4 adult chaperones. Slept in tents next to the beach. Snorkeled and saw fish of every color. Sat down on the bottom of 4 feet deep water and a school of small fish surrounded me in a circle and swam around me. A 3 foot hammerhead shark checked me out there too. It bolted when I stood up to tell my friend. There was no shower there back then, but thankfully a toilet. We took 1 " shower " that week at a blue hole of fresh water, dumping water over each other ( with swimsuits on,lol )
Bought souvenirs from locals who lived in grass huts. It was an amazing week and cost $225 for a ride down to Fla via the V.W. van International Field studies provided in Columbus, the airplane ride over and all our meals, one of which included 2 giant lobster tails, deep fried conch and land crab, all of which were allowed to be taken by members of our group from the area.
