Guide
Good to know
Go on weekdays for calm conditions
Visitors report a noticeably more relaxed, quieter atmosphere on weekdays compared to busy weekend crowds.
Plan for water activities beyond swimming
The rocky cove is excellent for snorkeling, kayaking, rock jumping, and bouldering rather than traditional beach swimming.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2026
Arrive before 10am on weekends
The beach fills quickly during peak season, making it crowded and reducing visibility for snorkeling by mid-morning.
Wear shoes for rocky terrain
The beach is mostly small rocks and pebbles, making barefoot walking uncomfortable and difficult along the shore.
Expect crowds impact water quality
Reviewers report water becomes murky and oily from sunscreen and boats during peak times, affecting visibility and cleanliness.
