Guide
Good to know
Walk here from the ferry terminal
The cove is walkable from the cruise port in about three minutes, with shaded picnic tables across the road.
Come for snorkeling, not sunbathing
The entire beach is rocky with minimal dry space, but the shallow water off the cement steps has.
Bring water shoes and watch for boats
The rocky entry and exit will hurt bare feet, and glass-bottom boats and submarines pass through hourly.
Expect aggressive fish if crowds feed them
Tour groups feed the fish, especially calico bass, making them bold and occasionally unnerving to snorkelers.
