Top Beaches in Capital Region

If you're looking to surf, I think catching the waves early, around 8 AM, is the way to go. The water's calmer and it's less crowded then, giving you space to practice!

Bring your own snorkel gear if you can! I saw so many colorful fish without having to rent gear.

i suggest checking out the local food trucks just a bit away from the beach. the food is delicious and usually way cheaper than the restaurants nearby; you'll get a better taste of local flavors!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach vendors can be pricey, and you'll find it way more chill having your own picnic vibe

Wear reef-safe sunscreen! I found out afterward that regular sunscreens harm the coral. Plus, it’s better for the environment.

If you plan on swimming, check the water conditions first. I found the waves a bit rough on my visit, so I had to be careful, but it was still fun!

I suggest arriving by 9 AM to snag a good parking spot and avoid the crowds. The beach gets packed by midday and trust me it's way more relaxing when it's less busy!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks instead of relying on the beach kiosks. They can be pricey, and enjoying your own picnic by the water is a vibe.
