Perfect for toddlers and weak swimmers

The shallow lagoon has calm water without ocean waves, making it safe for young children to splash and play.

Check water status before driving

The beach closes periodically due to environmental conditions, but closures are not consistently posted online or on social media.

Bring water shoes and bug spray

The swimming area has muddy, slimy ground rather than sand, and mosquitoes are aggressive after 6pm.

Visit on weekdays for fewer crowds

Weekday visits offer peaceful, quiet conditions without the busier weekend atmosphere.

Bring your own beach gear

No umbrellas, chairs, or shade structures are available for rent, so pack supplies for sun protection.
