This beach is fantastic. It's very easy to get in and out of the water, and there's no strong current to worry about. The visibility is excellent, especially at depths of 45 feet or more. The reef is really impressive, and the view from the entry point is absolutely stunning.

The beach was absolutely stunning! During our visit, we were fortunate enough to spot an eagle ray, several turtles, a barracuda, and a variety of beautiful fish. The beach line was breathtaking, and the ocean was simply gorgeous.
