Afterward, we will continue to the long beach of Sunday Point, which is kissed by a cool local subtropical forest, and then we will reach our destination – the Wavecrest Hotel. The hotel is located on the banks of the river next to us. Towards evening, we will find the time to sit, relax, and breathe the ocean air.
