Parking is easy here as there is a good sized lot but the beach is not good. Absolutely covered in trash. Would not recommend as there are better public beaches. The food situation here seems to be the same as most public beaches on the island. A couple stands all selling the same drinks in coconuts and pineapples. $30 for a drink but they give you 3 or 4 free refills. For food, they had jerk chicken which was some of the best food I had all week.

Nice beach, but too overcrowded. A lot of trash and noice. Wouldn’t recommend visiting if only in the island for a short time.
