The vibe
“Quiet bay perfect for paddle & kayak”
A wide, calm bay on the west side with very gentle water — perfect for kids, beginner paddleboarders and kayakers heading out to the Blue Room sea cave nearby. Local food stalls on the sand, a few palapas, and an unhurried, family-Sunday feel.
Accessibility
