The Boardwalk is 4 feet above the ground so that tourist will enjoy the wellness of Mangroves without touching the ground.
During high tides, water enters the entire Boardwalk area and the tourist feels like as if they are walking on the water. This is particularly more enjoyable on Full Moon day and No moon day.
