Why it's worth your time

Situated on the West Coast, this beach borders a massive, shallow lagoon with exceptionally blue, calm water. It is a premier destination for kitesurfing and family swimming.

What we love

The vibrant, turquoise water that feels warmer than the open ocean.

What to know

It can get extremely windy, which is great for kitesurfers but less so for sunbathers.
