Although the beach has stunning white sand, it's unfortunate that it's heavily contaminated with gasoline from the boats.

This place is definitely worth the drive on unpaved roads to get here. It has quickly become my new favorite beach! It reminds me of a more upscale version of Sosua beach with its u-shape bay and snorkel boats, but the white fine sand, crystal clear water, comfortable loungers, delicious food, and absence of hagglers make it an even more relaxing and enjoyable experience.
