If you do the Park, go early, take food and water, take the long route and stop at all the sites. Take food for the huge iguanas, DO NOT STOP AT WAYAKA II

We ended up at the conch shell beach one time on the east side. It was a Sunday afternoon and they had music and lots of locals dancing and having a good time.
Go buy something from Yenny. She lives just south of the post office I believe, but you can't miss her house if you've ever drove by it. There are life sized stuffed looking people/animals or a combination of both on her property. She's like an artist and makes things out of trash, stuff that's washed up on shore or things people give her. She gets alot of stuff given to her after Carnival or the Regatta parade. Don't be scared, like I was the first time but Pam made me go, and take your camera, walk around her yard and look at all the stuff and animals, she has flamingos, turtles, birds etc. We always buy something from her, a painted tile, or painted stone, or tell her what you want and she'll make it. She's usually sitting on the front porch working on something.
Drive around town off the beaten path, we've found many small grocery stores, shopping stores, etc. We ended up at a little Chinese bar restaurant one nite that had a couple pool tables and spent the evening there playing pool with locals, having supper,etc.
