Good to know
Come for sunset views
Multiple visitors reported this as the best sunset spot they saw on the island, with light breaking through clouds.
Plan to watch turtles
Visitors frequently spotted several turtles in the water and on the beach, sometimes with visible markings on their shells.
Do not swim here
Sharp reef, rocks, and powerful waves make swimming unsuitable, though a lifeguard is on duty for the surfing area.
Arrive around 11am for parking
Parking is tight, especially during construction, but one visitor reported finding spots easily at 11:00am.
Watch for heavy road traffic
Traffic on the road is heavy with frequent stop-and-go conditions, making crossing the street or pulling out difficult.
