Guide
Good to know
Prime surfing conditions year-round
Consistent waves across all seasons make this one of the island's most reliable surf breaks for intermediate to advanced surfers.
Shallow reef areas for snorkeling
A sheltered pond-like area on one side offers calm water, small fish for snorkeling.
Wear water shoes for rocky bottom
Rocks and coral in the water can cut feet unexpectedly, so sturdy footwear is essential for wading.
Expect heavy traffic leaving the beach
Plan extra time to exit, as congestion around the area causes delays when departing.
Check conditions before entering water
Strong currents occur on some days, making it unsuitable for casual swimming even though the beach is beautiful.
