This beach was promoted online and in travel guides as a great snorkelling spot. We rented gear and when we got there the waves looked too big to allow for snorkeling (you'd be fighting the waves just to stay in one spot), and the water looked a little too cloudy. We tried it anyway and there wasn't anything to see and the visibility wasn't crystal clear. All we could see was some brownish seaweed on top of some rocks or dead coral. I saw two sea urchins and two small brown fish. Otherwise, the waves were fun to float in without snorkel gear, the beach was small and less crowded than other beaches (which is a plus in my book), and there was a beautiful view of large mansions on the hillsides behind the beach. Beach chairs were well priced, $5/chair plus an extra $1 for an umbrella.

I would say that this is among the best beaches to sit in the sun and enjoy the view! The Sand is white and clean. The Ocean on this side is a little rough. Go to the Westin and drive to the back past the entrance, There is plenty of parking in a lot close to the ocean. Use the swimming pool that has a swim up bar and enjoy your day. Food is reasonable.....no one there to charge you for the chairs. Bring a small cooler and enjoy the day or a few hours without a lot of hassles.

Beach is beautiful but often windy. A nice place to take in the sunrise, and sip coffee and eat a croissant from the little mini mart on the docks. Parking is limited but you can usually find a space early in morning.

This beach was promoted as a snorkel spot. It was way too rough the week we were there to even consider it. I am a good swimmer and experienced snorkeller and could not go in the water.
