You cannot get into the water. But there are lots of people on the beach. A long boardwalk has been built after constructing a seawall with rocks for people to enjoy. It is a lovely walk with the constant breeze. There is this obligatory photo spot that Nelson (my driver and guide) insisted I take a picture with.

The heart is colored like the flag of Guyana. A very interesting fact about the flag – It is one of the flags with lot of colors – five to be precise. Black, White, Red, Green and Yellow/Gold. Surprisingly, for a country with so many rivers and a long coastline, there is no blue color to represent water.

Or that is what I thought. Then, I learnt that the white color actually stands for water!! I have never come across that. White for water. Given the amount of silt in the waters here, admittedly, white is a closer representation than blue!!
