The grounds on the opposite of the
side of Rio Intercontintenal Hotel. The pool is huge and has a bar almost
in the middle of it. Beyond that is a very private golf course, Beyond
that are apartment/condominium that were being built in 1977 and selling
then for over a million dollars US with an interest rate in the mid
30' per annum.

The mountain in the background is
a favorite jumping off place for hand gliders. The prevailing winds
aids the jumpers to land on the beach.
