- Boat approach and dramatic cove reveal — Getting there by boat is part of the show: the cliffs rise out of the water and the beach drops into a sheltered, postcard-like cove you don’t see until you round the headland. Morning rides are usually calm and sometimes the same trip doubles as a dolphin or (in whale season) humpback watch — a spectacular way to arrive that you won’t get from a road.
- Snorkeling around the rocky outcrops — The shallow reefs and submerged boulders close to shore concentrate reef fish and coral, so short swims from the sand turn into dramatic, easy-to-access snorkeling sessions. Water is clear and the rocky structure makes for interesting underwater topography — just watch currents and avoid scratching the reef.

- Reef break surfing and boogie-boarding — When the swell lines up, Frontón punches out powerful, hollow waves over rock — not a beginner beach, but a memorable playground for experienced surfers and bodyboarders. Waves break close to the rocks, so timing and local intel matter; when it’s working, it’s one of the most dramatic surf settings on the peninsula.
- Cliff scrambling and iconic viewpoints — Giant boulders and steep rock faces right at the sand let you scramble up for sweeping views of the cove, the bay, and the jagged coastline. It’s perfect for dramatic photos and short, fun climbs; bring decent shoes, go slow, and pick the late-afternoon light for the best colors.
- Stargazing and moonlit soundscape — There’s almost no light pollution here, so after sunset the sky goes big. Lie back on the rocks or sand to watch the Milky Way, or take a cautious moonlit dip while listening to the heavy surf hitting the cliffs — peaceful and slightly otherworldly, because Frontón is one of those rare, very remote beaches where the night feels wild rather than social.
