This coral beach can be reached by a wet landing. There is a 750m trail along the beach that passes through red-footed booby colonies and several tide pools, and ends at a viewpoint over the cliffs. A pleasant panga ride along here, often followed by playful sea lions, gives a good view of birds nesting above.
