This is a nice quiet beach with a restaurant and bar with beach chairs and umbrellas for rent. The water is clear with no seaweed on the day we were there. It's a short Uber ride from the port. The water is clear and calm. The only downside is its rocky in the water making it unpleasant to walk out to swim.

Beautiful white sandy beach. Sun loungers (2) and umbrella for 20 US dollars. Beach bar available. Unfortunately there were small stones in the water, but they hardly detracted from the beach fun. Taxi from Cruise Terminal $5 p.p. Person. We got the return trip for a total of $8.
