    Paradise Beach

    Head to Paradise Beach to watch the sun set. The beach is wide and uncrowded, offering a clear view of the sun setting toward the WSW. It is a popular spot for windsurfers and kiteboarders, so the breeze will be crisp.

Local tip

The beach is part of a nature conservancy, so please stay on the paths and respect the wildlife. The sunset view is best when the sky is clear.
