This is another view of the nude beach area. Note the yellow floatie in the right hand side of the photo. Some people like to bring a deflated floatie from home since the foam floaties Hedo provides are not that great. The dive shack will inflate the floatie for you if you ask nicely. Be sure to purchase a floatie with a cup holder to hold your Dirty Bananas and your Purple Rains. Also, write your name and trip dates on the floatie and it will be reserved for you during your stay. When your departure date has passed, others will know it is free for whomever to float on.

The most energy you will spend all day is paddeling your floatie out to that rope you see in the photo, and holding on so that the boats' wake won't drift you away from your friends. Water shoes are good to have since there are many sea urchines among the seaweed. During my stay here a guy did step on a sea urchine. He went to the first aid building to have the little needle things removed from his foot. After leaving the nurse's station he stopped off at the beach bar for a booze refill, and walked right back through the seaweed! Yuck. If I didn't have my water shoes on, and usually I didn't, I just climbed on my floatie on the shore and paddled my way out to sea.
