The beach offers a soft and velvety sand that is a pleasure to walk on. The serene waters are crystal clear and pristine, making it ideal for swimming or simply lounging by the shore. While there are no dining or drinking options in the vicinity, the lack of trash bins is compensated by the responsible behavior of both locals and tourists who conscientiously take their waste with them.

The beach situated by the St. John's Bay is a sight to behold. It boasts of pristine waters that are perfect for swimming and ideal for little ones to enjoy. One of the best features of this beach is the absence of large waves, which makes it a safe haven for all. Additionally, the newly constructed outbuilding, restrooms, and boardwalk make it easy for visitors to access the beach. A trip to this beach is incomplete without indulging in the delectable lunches and ice cream sold at the refreshment stand. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a serene and enjoyable experience.
