- The pink sand: The reason most people come. Crushed coral and shell tint the shoreline, most visibly where the tide leaves a wet line. Walk the full length slowly and compare the colors at each end.
- Swimming in the reef-sheltered bay: The reef sits offshore, so the main bay stays calm and clear on most summer days. Check for red flags after storms, because the undertow can pick up fast.
- Snorkeling around the rocky edges: Small fish gather near the rocks at either end of the beach. It is a casual float, not a dive site, so bring your own mask to avoid rental prices.
- Morning beach walk toward the neighboring coves: Head along the shore to the quieter pockets, where the cliffs and low dunes give more privacy. Early hours are cooler and almost empty, and the light on the sand is at its best.

- Sunset on the sand: The beach faces south, so the sky glows at the horizon after the sun drops behind the land. Evenings are calm and mostly empty, a good slot for a picnic with nothing else going on after dark.
