What this small, undeveloped village lacks in terms of restaurants and atmosphere it makes up for with a large swimming/play area on the Jackie O. Beach. You can walk for about 100m out to sea before the water rises to chest height (for an average sized adult). Therefore, it's great for young children. There are trees lining the beach, offering natural shadow from the sun.
