5.0
if you enjoy a small and calm beach, this is the spot. very small beach, quaint. restaurants galore. margaritas, beer, etc. the sand is very very grainy, I suggest water shoes! if you do use the restaurants table and chairs a 15% tip will automatically be added to your check. and IGUANAS, so so cool.
