- Sand & rock
- Sheltered
- Shallow entry
- Beach bar
The local verdict
Worth visiting if you want an easy, accessible beach with dining options and water activities, but can be crowded and boat traffic must be considered. Is great for a quick dip than for a beach day. However, it is a great spot for a diving experience.
Wind & sea conditions
Stick to the rocky side (right side facing the sea) for snorkeling, the deeper water there is far better than the sandy area, and you'll see more marine life. Evening visits are quieter than daytime.
Common mistakes
Swimmers often ignore boat traffic and stray outside designated swimming areas, pay attention. Many also miss the rocky snorkeling side entirely and waste time in the shallow sandy area instead.
