Its unique coast structure and water temperature is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving as well as all other water sports and activities. This 3 km supervised beach is wheelchair-accessible. A new Mobi-Mat® was installed in 2018 along with the addition of a Mobi-Chair® lightweight floating beach wheelchair.
