TL;DR
Travelers report a quiet stretch to the right of the beach near an abandoned hotel, with a sandy bottom and little marine life, used mainly for relaxed swimming. However, solo women were advised not to go there alone, and access to a neighboring hotel’s pier or swimming past boundaries should be checked with beach staff or lifeguards first.
For relaxed swimming, travelers recommend walking to the right along the beach toward the area by the abandoned hotel, where reports mention little sea life and a sandy seabed.
This stretch is described as better for easy swimming than for snorkeling, since the bottom is sandy and there are no notable underwater features mentioned.
There was an important safety warning: solo women were advised not to go there alone, even though the beach section itself is considered comfortable for swimming.
