User reviews
"The snorkeling experience at this beach is truly exceptional, with an abundance of colorful fish and even a graceful stingray gliding by. The journey to reach this spot is certainly worth it, especially when combined with a visit to the nearby starfish beach for more underwater exploration."
Kamal Farid
"The Google Maps location for the beach is not accurate as it points to the Retreat at Rum Point condominiums instead of the Rum Point Beach Club which is located just next to it towards the west. The beach club is easily recognizable with its long dock and lush greenery."
