Beach day game plan

Get there early if you want quiet water, then swim before the sun gets serious.
Midday
Shade breaks matter. Grab lunch, hydrate, and save the longer swim for later.
Evening
Stay for golden light, then go straight into dinner mode.
Beach tips
- Bring water and sunscreen, the sun hits harder than people expect.
- Early and late hours are the sweet spot for heat and crowd level.
- Snorkel along the edges where rocks meet sand for the best visibility.
- If the wind picks up, shift beaches or go inland for a hike and return later.
