20 minute drive from the cruise, $10 per person each way and they charge a $10 convenience fee. Locals tell you there are chairs and umbrellas and there are but they are $10 per chair and $20 for the umbrella. Beach views are amazing! Not crowded at all. Waves much more kid friendly than than cabbage beach. The food the locals sell on the beach is $25-$35 per person and honestly with the heat and lack of gloves I would avoid this. My daughter pulled 3 beer bottles out of the water in 15 minutes and the beach is absolutely covered in trash. No garbage cans, broken bottles, pineapples, all garbage thrown in a pile. If you go, I highly recommend wearing sandals the entire time. We went in August, obviously very hot, bring extra water, hats and sunscreen

It's absolutely wonderful. I wish I could visit it someday, but that will never happen because of my bad passports. But I hope my luck will change and I'll visit this paradise.
