Upon arriving, we immediately spotted Nene as we made our way towards the beach. Though the parking situation was a bit challenging due to the ongoing renovations, the beach itself was pleasantly uncrowded. We enjoyed exploring the caves located on the southern end and found the sand to be perfect for swimming. The presence of lifeguards and nearby amenities made the experience even better. We definitely plan on returning in the future.

This location is definitely one of the best out there! Finding a spot to park is a breeze, the sand is pristine and velvety, and the water is crystal clear. Plus, the sand has a beautiful golden hue that adds to its allure.

This beach is the best on the island with ample space to set up for the day and great facilities. While you can enjoy the water, be mindful of the shore break and heed the life guards' warnings. The waves here are massive! Do note that it is a paid beach, with a $10 parking fee and $5 per person charge for non-residents. Thank you!
