This charming beach is a hidden gem, but there are a few things to keep in mind. It's not officially open to the public, so parking and amenities are not available. However, the seclusion is a definite advantage. Be sure to wear water shoes instead of sandals or flip flops due to the abundance of rocks and pebbles. Swimming is at your own risk, as the reef is rocky and home to many sea urchins, which can be unpleasant to step on or touch.
