Just be careful with those who offer you tables and chairs, tell you to use them, and if you don't buy from local businesses they extort you on your way out, they threaten you and if you don't pay they tell you that they will hurt you on the way.

Beautiful beach like Hawaii. Banana boat rental, free hammocks, seating and shade. Shallow and warm water but not very clean. The banana boat was a blast!
