Go to the middle of the bay. That area has recovered and is doing well.

The beach is just out the door. The sand is clean and plenty of space available. The beaches will have a mixture of tops and topless. The nude beach is just a 10 minute walk south. That breach is the remnants of the Orient Beach Club. It is a clean well kept beach that has chairs, umbrellas, and a bar with limited food.

A car rental was a great idea, we were able to explore the entire island.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The beach looked nice but there was a lot of sargassum on the beach. It doesn’t smell good. The beach was not very crowded because of this I believe. Still it was nice to see but we didn’t stay long.
