It was a delightful surprise to come across this hidden gem! On a quiet Tuesday morning, I parked my car in the southern lot and noticed there were plenty of spaces available. Despite its popularity, the beach was relatively empty, which was a pleasant surprise. Before heading to the beach, I explored the charming gardens near the parking lot. The gardens were a serene oasis filled with a variety of birds and even a couple of crocodiles. Once I made my way to the beach, I was greeted by the sight of the seaweed machine scraping the shore, which was a unique and fascinating feature. The shoreline was breathtakingly beautiful, with the iconic palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. These trees provided the perfect shade for those who didn't want to rent chairs or umbrellas. Overall, this beach was everything I could have hoped for - peaceful, stunning, and not overcrowded.

The beach was a delightful spot to visit. However, during our stay, we encountered an abundance of seaweed that had washed up on the shoreline. Additionally, we had to be cautious of the small Portuguese Man of War Jellyfish that were scattered throughout the area. Despite these obstacles, we were able to enjoy our time at the beach by being vigilant and taking in the stunning scenery around us.

The beach offers of the most exquisite natural beach umbrellas, providing ample shade for beachgoers. The water is pristine, serene and tranquil, creating a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Our visit on Monday was a blissful experience as the beach was pleasantly quiet, allowing us to unwind in peace. However, we anticipate that the weekend may present a stark contrast with a bustling crowd.

I have visited this beach on multiple occasions, and it is truly a wonderful location. It offers a serene and tranquil environment, unlike the bustling crowds of South Beach. Although there is some seaweed in the water, it is not overly bothersome. The beach is adorned with lovely palm trees that provide natural shade, but if you require more comfort, you can rent an umbrella and chairs for an exorbitant $40 fee. A food and drink vendor conveniently travels by ATV to take orders and deliver sustenance, but the prices are steep and the quality is not exceptional. Nevertheless, it is a suitable option if hunger strikes.

The beach is impeccably pristine, with powdery white sand that beckons you to take a dip in the refreshing waters. The waves are gentle and soothing, perfect for a leisurely swim. Even children can safely frolic in the calm sea. The avian inhabitants add to the charm of the place, making it a delightful and intriguing spot to explore. Best of all, it is blissfully uncrowded, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
