Local tips
Getting there & safety
Access
Short path. A small informal pulloff near the beach access provides room for about five to six cars on a dirt shoulder. The spot is not signposted or visible from the main road, so using GPS coordinates is the most reliable way to find it. Parking is free year-round. The road leading to the pulloff is paved and accessible with any vehicle.
Swim smart
Generally calm and safe for swimming and snorkeling year-round thanks to the sheltered south-coast position. The reef is shallow in several sections, so snorkel carefully with fins elevated to avoid contact with living coral and scraping yourself. No lifeguards are on duty. Sun exposure under open skies can be intense even with the almond tree shade along the waterline. Apply sunscreen before swimming out to the reef.
