On both sides of the peninsula lie shallow waters, historically used as salt pans, contributing to the site’s authentic character and offering additional possibilities within a comprehensive master plan. With a natural elevation of over 18 meters, the plateau serves as a spectacular vantage point over Santa Martha Bay.
