I loved this now small beach. It was bigger before the hurricane hit the island in July 2024. Stunning exotic water and beach. No sunbeds or umbrellas.

The WHOLE beach is rock and gravel/pebbles in the ocean/beach floor. From the moment you start walking in to the water, its all gravel and stone (and you can see it when the waves recede). Im not sure why no one else has mentioned this as it ruins the whole experience--and I wore beach shoes to wear in the water. The gravel and stones still made it into my shoes. There's also a lot of leaves floating in the water with the rocks. The water is COMPLETELY CLEAR! But the sandfloor makes it impossible to really enjoy the water. There's also a couple of quick drops when youre entering, which is hard to do comfortably with the ROCKS. If youre looking for a place to swim or wade in water, this is NOT the beach. Maybe you have to go out farther to escape rocks, but it gets deep so quickly that you'll be floating the whole time. Do NOT recommend for swimming
