The beach is a great get-away from the busier beaches right in Avalon. Besides being a nice beach, there are kayak and snorkel rentals, restaurant and bar, large terraced grassy area, showers and restrooms. The beach is a great place for an informal wedding, family reunion or just a hanging out in the sun. « less
