The beachfront promenade buzzes with open-air restaurants serving fresh ceviche and tropical cocktails as the sun sets. Book a catamaran cruise to spot dolphins playing in the golden afternoon light. Beyond surfing, try zip-lining through the rainforest canopy or horseback riding along Grande Beach's pristine shoreline.
