Good public beach, umbrella and loungers for rent for $30, taxi from the cruise terminal $5 per person. Cocktails are relatively expensive at $17 but also a lot, bottled in a polybag. Water clear but without colorful fish right on the fine sandy beach, restrooms available but accessible to everyone (cleanliness 🙄) Very good liveguard on the beach 🏖️!!!
