"+ easily accessible beach near a large parking lot
+ very pleasant sandy beach with clean, clear water
+ showers and pretty changing cabins
+ supervised swimming (at certain times)
+ fishy seabed with turtles, very large schools of silver fish, West Indian sergeant-majors easily recognizable by their black and yellow stripes, and very curious triggerfish that come very close to you, alone or in pairs, circle around you, staring at you, or follow you, but are not aggressive (we do the same with them, so why wouldn't we be a subject of curiosity for them too?); You can also see some beautiful cushion starfish native to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
+ Several beach restaurants for lunch, dinner, or a drink with your toes in the sand.
- Few trees, so shaded spots are rare.
- The beach isn't very wide.
- There's a strip of pebbles about 2 meters long when you enter the water, which can be difficult for the elderly or those with poor balance."
