14/34 Besides the caves the attractions are the fishing and the kelp beds. These kelp beds form a submarine garden, and the water is so clear that one can see beautiful plants, fish, etc., at forty or fifty feet below the sea surface--not unlike the famous sea-gardens at Nassau in the Bahamas. There is a good hotel, open the year round. The Lakeside Hotel has seventy large rooms and complete appointments. The table is supplied with plenty of milk and _real_ cream from their own cows, vegetables and fruit from the neighboring ranches, game in its season, shot on the lake near by, and, in the valleys, meats from homegrown stock. |
