NOT SAFE DUE TO THE PARKING

This place used to be soo much fun, but now that more people know about it, it's not. They do have security, but they dont count how many cars come into the area. Which is not good for holiday weekends like the 4th of July....it is very unsafe.

For example we got there at 8 am, by 11 it was super packed when we tried to leave around 4 we could not leave! People parked all in the road and blocked cars in.

I’ve been all over the world and this is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. You can’t say you’ve been everywhere unless you’ve been here. Reserve a spot or...
