We had to walk 100 meters or so to get away from the "crowds," but then had a strip of beach all to ourselves. Nice scenery. Clean water.

Everyone said this was the best beach, that we thought we'd try others first. But no, this IS the best beach! Calm, clear waters for floating on the eastern side, more surf for play on the western...

Beautiful beach with easy paved road access. I came on a scooter and had no problems. Bring everything as there are no food stands, chairs and very few shady spots. The water is turquoise and calm... A tad chilly for use Caribbean people. The sand is white and lose. The day I came, it was a sunny Monday and few people were there so it felt extremely relaxing. You will love it

The beach was absolutely beautiful, the water was clear. The location was beautiful, there is no place to eat here and have a porta potty just keep that in mind. They do have area to cook and the horse run free on this beach and they are friendly bring some apples for the horse when you visit.

Crystal clear water. This beach is perfect for swimming. If you go to the left, you can find a beginner snorkeling spot. The beach also has gazebos with picnic tables and a grill.

I love this beach. I came here 7 years ago as a child and this was the only beach I remembered. But when I came back this time it was even more beautiful then I remembered. Don’t miss out on this very accessible and beautiful beach! I did some snorkeling and saw beautiful coral and reef fish with bright blue and yellow. Make sure you walk to the end and touch the cliffs and walk under them!

One of the prettiest beaches I have been to on the island. Easy to get to with gulf cart. The beach had plenty of parking Shelters, Grill and trash cans everywhere. The beach was free of seaweed, the water looked amazing the sand was as white as you could ask for... a perfect post card. Dogs welcome on leashes,it's of families enjoying this beach today... I watched a young boy and his father learning surf in the far end of the beach.
