Hato
It is a very nice and quiet beach but also with entertainment because of the many kite surfers passing by. It is still a great spot to swim even though it is on the north shore with big waves but they do not get all the way to the shore. The waters are crystal #blue and the sand is a bit of pink. The entrance is a bit hidden by the Grapefield dunes.
