Sheltered cove good for young children
The bay breaks waves before they reach shore, creating calm shallow water where small children can play.
Turtles most visible at midday
Green sea turtles come ashore to sun themselves around midday, but surf conditions and season affect sightings.
Arrive before noon for parking
The public lot fills quickly, especially from midday through late afternoon, forcing visitors to circle or park along the road.
Wear water shoes or reef boots
Coral, rocks and slippery surfaces cover much of the bottom and extend along the shore.
Avoid strong currents and rip tides
Strong currents and rip tides can form, especially outside the protected cove area, even on calm-looking days.
