Guide
Good to know
Calm water for snorkeling
Sea walls shelter the area from heavy surf and currents, creating ideal conditions for viewing reef and fish.
Expect a steep descent
The beach entrance involves a short but steep path dropping roughly two stories from the street above.
Avoid cruise ship hours
Multiple visitors report heavy tourism and crowds that coincide with port arrivals, degrading the experience.
Bring only a backpack
The steep terrain and isolated location make it impractical to carry large coolers or beach equipment.
Parking costs five dollars
A paid lot is available at the entrance with bathroom and shower facilities on-site.
