Great beach located on the north end of the island near the California lighthouse. Soft rolling waves with plenty of room to play for all. If you want to be more secluded and away from the high rise hotels this beach is a great choice.

GF and I watched the sunset, absolutely beautiul. She is a new swimmer, so it was a great shallow place to teach snorkling, many little rock formations in the water with fish. Not crowded either. Definitely rent a car and go here to get away from the high rise area beach.

We rented a car for the day and drove out here. Water and sand were beautiful and clean!! There were not hundreds of people at this beach. There were waves! Which was nice.

This is a beautiful beach, popular with both locals and tourists. Definitely worth a visit. There's a cute little ice cream stand there, where you can buy water, Popsicles, or fresh coconut water.

It was quiet, relaxing, great location. The water is pretty clear. Palapas was a plus, lounge chairs available for rent also a plus. Don't forget to taste the pistachio ice cream!

This is a small beach area and if you are into snorkeling this is the place to go; but, if you don't want too many children around, this is not the pace to go.

This was a nice beach with a few waves for the kids. The breakers blocked some of the waves but we still got some good snorkeling. Saw a huge live starfish and zillions of fish. The shade huts were great but there were no facilities that we saw.

We read this beach is great for snorkeling, but we preferred Malmok. This beach has no facilities (neither does malmok though), and there are a ton of people there cause the 'tours' have this beach on their routes (jeep and 4-wheeler tours). So, it was pretty busy.... but it is a beautiful (small) beach.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this beach and went there almost every day. There is ZERO commerical anything here, just perfect beach, sand and water. I didn't really pay much attention, but I don't think there are any public restrooms, I guess this could be problem, but of the 12+ hours my wife and I spent here with friends... More
