The beach located a short walk south from Magics is typically more peaceful. The sandy shore provides an ideal spot for relaxation and unwinding. The ocean waters remain tranquil, making it easy to enter and enjoy a refreshing swim. However, it's important to note that the water can become rough at times. Despite this, it remains a beloved spot for visitors to hang a hammock and indulge in a good book.

This picturesque beach offers a stunning view of the sun setting over the contrasting black and white pebble and rock shoreline, surrounded by palm trees and lava rocks. Although the beach is relatively small and not ideal for swimming, it is the perfect spot to witness the breathtaking beauty of the sunset.

Avoid the overwhelming crowds at White Sands/Magic Sands and opt for this hidden gem instead. This beach offers peaceful seclusion, easy access to dining and restroom facilities, and a delightful balance of sunny and shaded areas. While exploring the sandy shore, I stumbled upon some forgotten toys and decided to create a miniature volcano for them.

The shoreline is quite pebbly, so it's advisable to bring along some water shoes as the rocks can be quite sharp once you're in the water. However, it's a lovely spot to take a quick swim and bask in the beauty of the setting sun. If you're planning on spending an extended period of time in the water, it might be best to steer clear of this beach.

The beach is an ideal spot to capture the perfect sunset shot. The parking experience was intriguing, but the numerous photo opportunities made it all worthwhile. The sunset drew a large crowd, yet the atmosphere remained warm and welcoming with everyone displaying cordiality and consideration towards one another.
