The public beach may be petite, but it's still pleasant. Once you're there, you can stroll along the shoreline, grab a bite to eat at the resort restaurants, or purchase a day pass to access their amenities. Additionally, the beach offers shower and bathroom facilities for a nominal fee.

This tranquil haven is tucked away and boasts a serene atmosphere, far from the chaos of the bustling Playa beaches. While some parts of the beach may be rocky and exposed, the designated swimming area is well-maintained and offers a pleasant experience. The beachside eateries may be priced with the beach in mind, but the delectable dishes and generous portions make it worth every penny.

Parking can be quite challenging and it is advisable to carry water shoes as the beach is quite rocky with an abundance of seaweed. The beach is mainly frequented by hotel guests on either side. However, despite these challenges, the view is undeniably beautiful.
