For kids or gentle swimming, Chill Out Beach on the sunrise side is sandy, shallow, and free from sharp coral, making it ideal for families. The sunset side beaches are perfect for relaxing with a cocktail in hand and watching the sky turn golden, though swimming is less ideal there due to rocks and coral.
