It's a versatile spot where you can engage in various activities like exercising, strolling, letting the kids play, walking the dog, grabbing a bite to eat, or even getting some work done. The beach offers picnic tables, a designated play area for children, and exercise machines.

The beach is quite beautiful, but there have been reports of contamination in its history. However, the water appears clear and the sand is lovely, making it a nice spot to enjoy the view.

The beach offers an impressive view of the stunning Caribbean landscape, with boats coming and going at various times. You can also enjoy the soothing motion of the waves. I would give it four stars, except for the occasional unpleasant smell that detracts from its uniqueness.
