Safe for Kids: Yes, the water is shallow with a sandy bottom. The only thing to watch out for is the road running behind the beach, but it isn't very busy.

Turtles: Yes. Although this not a nesting beach you can sometimes see turtles in the water.

Seaweed: Normally very little

Sand or Pebbles: Fine sand extending a long way into the water, although the beach is quite narrow and almost disappears after a storm!
