This beach is a peaceful spot that is open to the public, but you must enter through the resort gates and inform them of your intention to visit. There is limited parking available for visitors, and it seems that the number of people allowed on the beach is controlled to prevent overcrowding by noisy, littering tourists who may harm the local wildlife or trespass on resort property. The beach itself is beautiful and one of the cleanest and quietest on the island. The beach varies from sandy to rocky, with some areas having smaller waves while others are more suitable for experienced swimmers or surfers. Due to the low number of visitors, there is a lot of wildlife to observe, including tide pools with interesting shellfish, crabs, and fish. Some of the pools are large enough to see bigger fish without getting in the water. Overall, this beach is perfect for leisurely walks along the shore, dipping your toes in the shallow waters, and observing the small creatures that live among the rocks. It is not ideal for snorkeling or swimming, as we only saw a few surfers during our extended visit.

The beach is only accessible to guests of the "Posh" resort. It's frustrating that all the resorts on the island have claimed ownership of the best beaches and offer no access or parking nearby. Beaches should be open to the public for everyone to enjoy.
