Bogmalo's curving, palm-fringed beach is less than 500m long, from the Bogmalo Beach Resort to the creek at the northwestern end. It doesn't have seasonal beach shacks but does have a sprinkling of more permanent beachfront restaurants doubling as guesthouses. Water-sports operations usually set up in season.
