Tucked in a cove below the arch and accessible only by boat, this small beach has a Pacific side with rougher surf and a Sea of Cortez side with calm water, split by a narrow strip of sand.
Know before you go
- Water taxis from the marina or Medano Beach are the only way in — there's no road access.
- Stick to the bay side for swimming; the ocean-facing side has strong currents and undertow.
- Arrive early to beat the midday crowds, since boats run out from the marina all day.
