We were there in 2014. At the time, there was a an entire visitors center type situation. They had snorkel rentals, beach chairs, showers, bathrooms, a bar and food available. There was also an small old derelict ship in the water that you could snorkel around and sometimes fish would be swimming under. We had a great time there and it was a nice beach. Got there via a driver with a golf cart.
In 2017 they had a big hurricane and apparently most of that area's buildings and the beach were severely damaged. They eventually removed ship as well. For at least several years the word was that this area was closed to the public. Apparently the local see an opportunity here and are moving back into the area. I may have to stop on our next cruise in Dec.
