## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best area to stay in Merinda?

> This area is the heart of Merinda, characterized by its coastal promenade, a variety of dining options, and local shops. The Merinda Esplanade itself is a pedestrian-friendly stretch that runs along the coastline, with views of the Coral Sea. It's the primary hub for activities and services in town.
> 
>
