FISHERMAN'S CORNER - This is a great local favorite. They get busy - so go earlier in the evening (like 4ish) to avoid a long wait.

Traveler advice
What to pack
SUNSCREEN!
It's extremely important to use sunscreen on all exposed areas while at the beach. Don't forget the tops of your ears and the tops of your feet. The white sand reflects with the sun and it can be surprising how quickly people can get burned. Take precautions.
What to pack
Baby powder
There are outdoor showers by the condo, but if you are walking on the beach and are going out afterwards, BABY POWDER is a super effective way to remove the sand without water.
Customs and culture
Leave Only Footprints
Turtles make nests on these beaches. It's important to take all of your trash and chairs/umbrellas back to the room. It's also super important to fill in any holes that you made at the beach while playing or building sand castles, etc. because the turtles can get stuck.
