A crescent-shaped bay and serene waters, placed against a frenetic backdrop of restaurants, bars, and a substantial dose of local flavor, characterize this neighborhood beach.

The calm waters make this a safe option for families with children; offshore reefs provide spectacular underwater sightseeing. The pool and beach facilities at Casa Marina Reef (809.571.3535) offer a mellower alternative to the pace on the public side of the beach.
