This is such a cute beach with great waves and easy access to snorkeling. It is worth seeking out this little spot and you may just catch a wedding or an emgagement happening right on the beach. Wonderful place to take photos and spot turtles.

A secret (sorta) beach. This tiny hidden beach is unbelievably idyllic. The most beautiful beach I've seen. Surrounded by lava rock with some wild surf, this place has beautiful shady trees and incredible tide pools. Bring your slippers the rocks are sharp ( and so are the sea urchins)

Most wedding pics are taken here. This is a secret, because turtles are known to hatch their eggs here. Its a photographers dream! Beautiful tide pools, swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, beach combing etc. This beach connects to big beach.
