User reviews
"The mighty ocean waves crash against the sandy shores, creating a wild and untamed atmosphere at this beach located just a stone's throw away from the prestigious Crane resort. However, if you're looking for a more tranquil and secluded beach experience, you may want to venture to the East where you can find pristine beaches without the hustle and bustle of beach services."
Klara Griggle
"The panoramic view of the eastern coast of the island is simply awe-inspiring. Although there is a moderate amount of seaweed, it did not detract from the overall experience. The sand is velvety smooth and the waves can be a bit challenging since it's on the Atlantic side, but there are tranquil days when the water is ideal for a refreshing swim."
