Getting there & safety
Access
Short path. Free paved parking lot at the beach entrance with space for approximately 30 vehicles. The gazebos and picnic areas are positioned close to the parking area, making it easy to transport coolers, grills, and beach gear. The lot rarely fills except on major holiday weekends like Fourth of July and Semana Santa.
Swim smart
Shallow, calm waters are safe for children and inexperienced swimmers throughout most of the year, making this an excellent family destination. No lifeguard is on duty at any time. Seagrass beds can be slippery underfoot, so water shoes are recommended for wading in the grassy shallows. Stay on marked paths within the nature reserve to avoid disturbing protected habitats and nesting areas. Mosquitoes can be heavy near the mangrove sections during dawn and dusk hours.
