Really nice - the sand is a bit stiff but it's a great spot. Plus, it's easy to access, so it's a great secret spot to escape to! Keep it on the down-low though - not a word!😁😁😁😁

That place is not the ideal spot for a swim or snorkeling. The ledge in the waters makes it difficult to enjoy a dip in the ocean.

This place is a great spot for some peace and quiet, and it even has a restaurant, Bonanza, nearby.

This secluded beach was a great find; it was so peaceful and off the beaten path. Unfortunately, the only bar/restaurant there was closed, so we just took a walk along the shore before heading out.
