The beach is quite petite, and the water can be rough, which makes it less than ideal for swimming. However, it is easily accessible and convenient to get to.

It's best to visit this beach when the sea is calm and there's no sargassum. Keep in mind that you'll need to wade through waist-deep water to reach the stairs on the other side of a small cliff.

This beach could be a great spot for a peaceful day, but unfortunately, there are no restroom facilities available. Despite being cleaned in January, there was still a significant amount of litter present. It would be helpful to bring a few kitchen trash bags if you plan to visit and assist in cleaning up. It seems that the island government should consider hiring individuals to maintain the cleanliness of the beach on a regular basis.

The beach was completely littered with trash, which was quite disgusting to see. However, if you look towards the right, between the cliffs, you can spot a unique and impressive Robinson Crusoe-style house that someone has built.
