Elston G. • December 30, 2015There is no public parking, and this is a very rocky area underwater... You will not want to be barefoot. Not very crowded. This beach requires some extra effort to go to, but I'm glad I went.

Tomomi I. • May 29, 2022I want to keep the beautiful lagoon secret from tourists 😉 Swim with pretty fish. They are usually by the barrier reefs 🐠
