Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 18 visitors · 2017–2026
Come for snorkeling at the rocky end
The far end has large rocks teeming with fish and marine life, visible in crystal-clear water.
Plan for shallow water and small children
The seafloor slopes very gradually, keeping water shallow far out, ideal for young swimmers and waders.
Arrive before 10am on busy days
Parking fills up quickly, especially in summer, forcing late arrivals to walk considerably.
Expect strong afternoon winds
Westerly winds regularly blow through, strong enough to topple umbrellas in the afternoon.
Bring water shoes for rocky entry
Recent easterly storms have deposited rocks across the beach entrance for several months.
