- Private cove anchoring and beach arrival — The bay is tiny and sheltered, so pulling up in a dinghy or small boat feels like arriving at your own private island. Boats are the obvious way in and the shallow, sandy approach makes for an easy, cinematic beach landing you won’t get at bigger tourist beaches.
- Snorkel the shallow reefs and seagrass flats — Unlike deep-wall snorkeling elsewhere, here you can walk straight off the sand into clear, shallow flats where turtles and rays often graze; it’s relaxed, close-to-shore snorkeling that’s great for buddies who want wildlife without long swims or boat drops.
- Short rock scramble to the panoramic outcrop — A quick, slightly ragged climb from the sand leads to a rocky overlook with an unbroken view of neighboring islands and sail traffic. It’s

- Short rock scramble to the panoramic outcrop — A quick, slightly ragged climb from the sand leads to a rocky overlook with an unbroken view of neighboring islands and sail traffic. It’s the best spot for dramatic photos and to judge the wind and tide for the rest of the day.

- Nighttime: dark-sky stargazing and quiet anchorage — There’s almost no artificial light here, so after the day-trippers leave the beach becomes very peaceful and ideal for stargazing from the sand or your boat. Be mindful of anchoring etiquette and local wildlife—this is a place to listen more than to party.
