Best beach on the island! Resort property with free beach access. A taxi/shuttle from the cruise port is $20 round trip. Chairs and an umbrella on the beach are $10 a person. Food and drinks are reasonably priced as well. Clean bathrooms. Awesome spot.

One of the cleanest beach. Not so much water activities and better to keep it that way. Good place to enjoy sunrise
