This is a nice quiet beach, though there are small groups that come and go. Water is nice and calm with small little waves rocking and relaxing you. However, come prepared as there are no amenities (food, chairs/umbrella rental); you may find shade under some of the groves and at the right end of the stairs leading to the beach. We found this to be a nice quiet beach.

There is natural shade toward the back of the beach. If you swim/snorkel around the rocks at the right side of the beach, you will find another beach which you will likely have all to yourself. Once there, you will see a hole in the rock formation which you can swim through and find yet another beach on the other side. The water was quite rough when we were there, so the snorkelling experience was...
