Best Tide: |

Flat and choppy water with some waves at the outside reef. Waves are not so good for surfing but always can be used as a good ramp to take off except at low tide when it gets very shallow and a little dangerous. Best at low tide if you prefer flat water and at high tide if you prefer the waves. About 15 minutes walk there is a very good right hand surf spot called Scar Reef.

The beach is located at very nice apartments. Soft sand beach with good launch/land area except at high tide, but still sufficient. Some reefs near the point makes it a paradise beach.
