Our favorite beach ! Great for snorkeling but can get quite windy ! Nice swimming spot . More remote than other beaches which we like , sometimes a pizza truck is there . Beach is very clean and because it’s protected by a man made island the waves are low.

Beautiful beach! Quiet! Plus you HAVE to eat at Caboose. The BEST fish-cutters on the island!

nice secluded beach, we meet only few locals here. Surroundings are not nice at the moment, they demolished the beachfront structures right now. So it looks ugly and can be windy. But the sand is fine, good for children and also for snorchelling behind the barriers. Bring everything, there is no bar, no shop.
