Swimming is not advisable at this location. The Beagle Channel's frigid waters (4-9°C year-round) pose serious hypothermia risks. The island setting and potential currents between landmasses create additional hazards. Access itself requires boat transportation, limiting emergency response options. The beach is primarily intended for nature observation, particularly bird watching around the small islands. Most visitors explore the shoreline briefly during guided boat tours. If you approach the water, exercise extreme caution on potentially slippery rocks and always wear appropriate footwear and warm, waterproof clothing.

The optimal visiting period is during the austral summer and early autumn (November-April) when boat tours operate more regularly and weather conditions are most favorable. December through February offers the warmest temperatures and longest daylight, though 'warm' is relative in this sub-Antarctic climate. Bird activity peaks during breeding season (spring and summer), making wildlife viewing more rewarding. Winter months see reduced boat services and harsher weather, though the dramatic landscapes can be stunning. Always check weather forecasts before planning a visit, as conditions can prevent boat access.
