Located on Route 127, just north of the Village area, this is more of an explorer’s beach than a swimming beach. Scuba divers often dive from here, and the surface is generally a combination of rocks and sand. If you want a place to sit and enjoy the breeze, but not necessarily diving in the water, this is a really nice spot.
