as for other beaches the only other one we went to was Baby Beach, gorgeous, soft sand, large beach front, pretty quiet only a dozen folks the Tuesday we were there, the water is so shallow you can go forever and only be up to your armpits, but the fish are abundant so beach/snorkel in the same spot is the bonus here.
