Beautiful beach unfortunately too many jet skis which arrive very quickly on the edge of the beach and incessant passages which is unpleasant

We were there for only an hour with our tour guide. The beach wasn't the prettiest Caribbean beach that I've ever seen but we had fun. The water and sand were cold so we only walked along the shore.
