Arashi beach is a series of small beaches along the route to the lighthouse. Buses pass there frequently or you can ask any of the boat owners to take you and arange a pick up time. Buses are cheap ($3-$4), private boat from the Marriott about $60. Great snorkeling, sitting areas.

This is a very nice beach with shallow water, great for swimming. The snorkeling is nothing to write home about but you can see a few fish. It is a good place for beginning snorkelers since the water is shallow. You can rent lounge chairs for $5 each. A few palapas, some are large so they can be "shared" with... More

Great beach located on the north end of the island near the California lighthouse. Soft rolling waves with plenty of room to play for all. If you want to be more secluded and away from the high rise hotels this beach is a great choice.

GF and I watched the sunset, absolutely beautiul. She is a new swimmer, so it was a great shallow place to teach snorkling, many little rock formations in the water with fish. Not crowded either. Definitely rent a car and go here to get away from the high rise area beach.

We rented a car for the day and drove out here. Water and sand were beautiful and clean!! There were not hundreds of people at this beach. There were waves! Which was nice.

This is a beautiful beach, popular with both locals and tourists. Definitely worth a visit. There's a cute little ice cream stand there, where you can buy water, Popsicles, or fresh coconut water.

It was quiet, relaxing, great location. The water is pretty clear. Palapas was a plus, lounge chairs available for rent also a plus. Don't forget to taste the pistachio ice cream!

This is a small beach area and if you are into snorkeling this is the place to go; but, if you don't want too many children around, this is not the pace to go.

This was a nice beach with a few waves for the kids. The breakers blocked some of the waves but we still got some good snorkeling. Saw a huge live starfish and zillions of fish. The shade huts were great but there were no facilities that we saw.
