You'll find the beach by accident or intention—narrow public access points between homes, marked by faded signs or simply by the sight of sand beyond the last yard. The shore runs ungroomed and unattended, littered with dried sargassum, bits of driftwood, the occasional plastic bottle the tide delivered. Sand shifts from golden to grey depending on the light, tracked with dog prints and bicycle tire marks from morning beach cruisers.
“This beach operates below the tourism radar entirely, a working shoreline for people who live within walking distance and need nowhere more complicated.”

The water here behaves like water everywhere along this coast—calm inside the reef, warm and shallow, safe for wading. No dramatic scenery, no postcard angles, just functional beach where the ocean meets the land. Seagrape and coconut palms provide irregular shade, their roots exposed where erosion has claimed chunks of the bank. Fishermen sometimes work this section, pulling lines from shore or checking traps visible at low tide.
What the beach lacks in polish it offers in anonymity. You can spend hours here without being photographed, solicited, or observed. Families arrive mid-morning with Tupperware lunches and beach toys, stake out territory, leave by mid-afternoon when the sun gets serious. The sand holds heat well into evening, still warm underfoot when the light goes amber and the first bats emerge from the palms.
