I visited the beach on a Friday afternoon and found it to be completely empty. Additionally, the beach boasts beautiful golden sand that is fine in texture.

If you're a fan of staring at waves crashing onto the shore, then this beach is for you. But if you're looking for some excitement or entertainment, you might want to keep on walking. Sure, the beach is pretty, but it's not exactly a hub of activity. So pack a good book and some sunscreen, and get ready for a relaxing day of doing absolutely nothing.

A beautiful beach awaits you on the Western shore, accessible to the public. Finding parking may be a challenge, but once you arrive, you'll be greeted by crystal-clear waters containing remnants of old coral formations and several coral nodes. While the reef is no longer alive, snorkelers can still enjoy spotting small fish and exploring areas with varying marine life. Don't forget to take a closer look at the water's color offshore, where the turquoise hues fade into a deep blue, signaling the start of The Wall. This impressive 7,000-foot trench attracts scuba divers from all over the globe, making it a must-see attraction for any beachgoer.
