Swimming conditions and supervision<\/h3>\n\n

The beach is not supervised, so please take care when swimming. The slope to enter the water is gentle and gradual. We recommend that you take a good look at your surroundings before entering the water, especially around rocks to avoid injury. Equipped with a mask and snorkel, you can observe the aquatic fauna through the clear water!<\/p>\n\n
