Guide
Good to know
Excellent for snorkeling and fish
The reef barrier creates a protected cove where colorful tropical fish swim close to shore year-round.
Arrive early for umbrella rentals
Umbrellas and chairs rent for $10-20 and sell out by mid-morning when cruise ships are in port.
Bring water shoes near the rocks
Sea anemones and rocks line the water entry points, and sand transitions to shells and rocky areas.
Parking fills on weekends early
Lot parking costs $5-7 per day and can reach capacity by afternoon, especially on weekends and cruise days.
