Guide
Good to know
Crystal water and white sand
Multiple visitors describe the beach itself as pristine and gorgeous once the difficult drive is completed.
Expect solitude on weekdays
Most visitors report being nearly alone or only encountering locals, likely because the difficult access deters casual tourists.
Good snorkeling on west side
The western bank offers decent reef viewing, though one first-time ocean swimmer noted limited marine life overall.
High-clearance vehicle required
The access road is severely rutted and washed out, with multiple visitors reporting risk of axle damage even in SUVs.
Bring cash for chair rental
Beach chairs cost $20 each, and a restaurant on-site serves food but operates a la carte pricing.
