There is a Main Street just off the beach with lots of hotels, restaurants and shops. Plus many houses and apartments all around the bay and urban area. We counted 4 surf school classes operating the few hours we were there - with age groups from elementary age kids to adults! It was fun and wholesome to witness! Sad that this place has been desecrated.
