- créneau
- Early morning before the beach crowd and boats; water 18–22 °C in summer, clearest June–September.
- marée
- Works on any tide; high water makes the sandy entry easier, low water exposes the rocky crevices where octopus sit.
- abri
- The bay opens SSW, but the rocky headlands shelter it from W wind and swell; N/NE (offshore) wind gives the glassiest water.
- danger
- Main danger is shallow submerged rock right at the edge (easy to cut yourself on exit) and heavy bather/tourist traffic: summer brings swimmers and rental kayaks — stay on the ends and tow a buoy.
- accès
- Walk down the palm-lined promenade to the west end of the beach by the Fortaleza; free parking in the village, enter over sand then out to the rocks in reef shoes.
The town's best-documented freedive spot: 2–6 m, octopus/urchins/small fish in the crevices. It is a swimming beach — spear only well away from bathers and outside the lifeguard/buoy zone.
