Bring reef shoes for kids and swimmers
The reef protecting the beach creates shallow, calm conditions but requires footwear for comfortable entry.
Go for sunset views and evening strolls
Multiple reviewers cited sunset as exceptional, and evening walks along the beach are popular with locals.
Arrive before 10:30am on weekends
Parking becomes difficult or impossible by mid-morning, especially on Saturdays and during peak season.
