Overview

Sea conditions change. Follow lifeguard, flag and local guidance before swimming or snorkeling.

Good to know
Before you go+
The name does not mean this is an attraction for seeing sharks.
Large swells can send waves over the surrounding reef, so avoid the cove during rough conditions.
Restrooms, lifeguards, food service and formal parking have not been verified.
