Swimming and snorkeling are generally safe at this marine park beach, with calm, clear waters and excellent underwater visibility. The protected park status helps maintain healthy coral reefs and marine ecosystems. Always follow marine park regulations and stay in designated areas. Be cautious of boat traffic from diving operations. Water shoes protect against coral and sea urchins. While lifeguards are typically absent, the area receives more visitors than remote beaches. Snorkel with a partner and maintain awareness of currents and your distance from shore. The white-sand bottom makes spotting potential hazards easier.

The best weather occurs November through April during Cuba's dry season, with sunny skies, calm seas, and optimal underwater visibility for snorkeling and diving. Water temperatures remain comfortable year-round, but conditions are most stable in these months. February through March typically offer peak diving conditions with excellent visibility. Being within a marine park, the beach maintains controlled visitor numbers but still attracts divers globally. Weekday visits may offer more tranquility. Avoid hurricane season from June to November when seas can be rough. Early morning provides the calmest waters and best light for underwater activities.
