Beautiful location but can be swamped with people. Snorkeling can be great but can be poor depending on wind and swells. Picturesque. Parking sucks when it's busy. Come early. Leave when crowds show up.

Beautiful sand, restaurants nearby and stunning water! Close to other rocky beaches which were better for snorkeling but this one is best for families.

We saw about 9 of them. You will be find $5k if you touch them but they are all around you. Why pay for a sea-sick boat ride when you can go here?

Great bay for relaxing and snorkeling. The right side towards the point has great snorkel life and plenty turtles to be seen. Entry into the bay can be tricky so pick your locations wisely due to shallow areas. I would recommend arriving to the parking...More
