Wear proper footwear for the descent
The 15-minute walk down a dry riverbed involves uneven dusty ground, wet sections.
Visit on calm, low-tide days
At high tide the beach disappears almost entirely under water, and rough seas reduce visibility and swimming comfort.
Bring water and food from outside
The one beach bar has limited hours and closes early, leaving no food or drink options if you arrive late.
