⚠️ SafetyUnderwater currents can be quite strong at times, creating turbidity. Sea urchins present on the seabed even on sandy beaches — coral shoes or flip-flops recommended when entering water. Beach has a very shallow slope (weak bottom slope), so swimming is best during high tides. No mention of dedicated lifeguards; swimmers should exercise caution. Marine reserve areas have restricted access.
