This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Balos Beach and walked the 2.5km down to the beach. We took a lot of photo breaks. We walked back up the 30 minutes to the parking lot. The children were able to romp on the beach. Philip swam as the water was too cold for us

Highlights: The bay is breathtakingly beautiful. The children romped on the beach. Our wanderlust Nunu mastered both ways alone. We had a wonderful tour to walk with kids ✨
