This is a beautiful white sand beach with lots of fun things to do. It is right off the airport runway so it is fun to watch the aircraft navigate this very difficult airport. We say several surfers on nice waves out in the bay and quite a few kite surfers, sail boards, paddle boards, etc. plently of topless women... More

You can be on this beach within 10 minutes of your plane touching down, and boy is it worth it. Lovely sand, wonderful blue sea, views to die for, not crowded, and a couple of places on the beach to get refreshments. More

if you want to see the bikinis or sans and enjoy eye candy, park your towel here. The swimming is good and lots of places to eat and drink. More

Great location, easy access, family friendly but limited shade available. We enjoyed our afternoon here, especially for watching the arrivals and departures of small aircraft. More

The waters were as brilliantly azure as the sand was white. With small aircraft landing and departing on a very regular basis it had an added attraction for those that enjoy these type of things. Had a wonderful seaweed fight too. Pretty beach for a few hours before moving on to another. More
