I lived there and swam in that water nearly every day. Swam with dolphins all the time. There is an undertow, but I learned a lot about life dealing with what that ocean gave me.

This is a beautiful beach. Swimming can be treacherous; it can be tough to get out of the water because of the sharp slope underwater and the undertow. Dolphins visit here pretty often. Watch out for big centipedes in the rocks--they bite/sting!

@twirlgrrl Are the centipedes toxic? And should one worry about getting attacked by the dolphins if you dont provoke them? (Ive heard about attacks on documentaries but not on this beach)

What a great beach! I spent a fabulous week there in May. The a.m. crowd and p.m. crowd are very different. ~Aloha~

Been there. Usually has clouds but sometimes very sunny. Water can be treacherous so wear a floatation ring .

About half the people enjoy the sun in the nude . Lived there five months and never found anybody smoking marijuana.

Yes there are nude folks there; it is actually a clothing optional beach (you don't HAVE to be nude).
