Guidelines

Mind the Marine Life : Sea urchins and sharp corals are common near the rocks. Wear water shoes if possible and watch your step. Timing is Everything : Visit in the morning for a calmer, quieter experience. Midday gets hot, and afternoons sometimes bring stronger tides. Swimming Safety : The beach has strong currents in some parts. Swim only in the calmer lagoon area and avoid venturing too far.
