TRAVEL TIPS
If you are going to walk on the walkways with rain, equip yourself.

When it rains, on the wood, a slippery muddy layer is formed, therefore the walkways become very dangerous. If you are going to walk, walk carefully and do not try to keep up with the locals, but you will hit yourself with some blow. To avoid the above, there are some rubber bands with nails that are placed on the sole of the shoes to avoid slipping, the other and more artisan is to tear a panty stocking and put it on the sole of the shoe.

There is a beach where you can step on solid ground.

After going through the walkways, you feel like stepping on solid ground, well, if this happens to you at the end of the walkways heading south, you will reach a beach worth visiting.
