★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Dani G · Aug 2022

Unfortunately when my family and I went (August 12, 2022), the beach was in a sorry state. The water was brown and full of seaweed and the beach smelled absolutely awful due to the rotting seaweed left piled up on the shore. With so few public beach access points, the city, or even the resorts as a courtesy to its guests, should do a better job of cleaning up its beaches.

Small little strip of beach that's convenient for those staying in nearby accommodations. The water is quite gross, however, particularly near the pier where there's a buildup up seaweed and something that resembles sewage.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Phil Strawn · Apr 2024

Beach was covered in sea weed and smelled bad. Maybe it was just the time of year, but in March 2024 not great. Would recommend the two other beaches a short walk right up the road.

With the southern point spot being closed down for renovations, this is a great alternative! Quiet mornings, great views.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Zachary Smith · Jun 2025

Stinky stinky. I get it's nature, but that's a massive amount of seaweed with no clues that any effort has been made to move it or any part of it. The beach is covered to such a degree you can't not walk through the pile. The water is yellow and smells like a dirty toilet. Very unfortunate as the sand is very soothing and the beach location is fantastic.
