Creator's Key Takeaways

I love a good beach day but this is really not the best spot

the water is really brackish there's lots of seaweed and unfortunately there's quite a bit of litter

the sand is nice and soft though so it's more of a layout kind of place rather than a play in the ocean kind of vibe

so maybe not the best place for a beach day

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you dock at Taino Bay, you can walk to the beach.
If you're at the other port, you have to take a taxi.
Chairs and umbrellas are available to rent for $14 for two chairs and umbrellas, but the price is negotiable.
