We did not rent chairs - our airbnb had beach chairs - and we have a great travel beach umbrella. I highly recommend that if you do a lot of beach vacations. Portabrella :) No paying for umbrellas or having to get to the beach at the crack of dawn to try and get a palapa.

I did not see any dogs and I didn't see any signs saying no dogs, however, it is a turtle breeding area which is protected so I would suggest you do not take your dog there.

Yes, ample parking. They have food, bar & bathrooms. You can rent various snorkel & beach items on the beach!

Look into a 'vacation vault'. Its a small plastic safe you can secure to your car bumper or a palapa beam, to fit your car keys and phone, leave everything else locked in the car. We dont worry much at arashi beach, but like to pull off the road in less populous locations too. Be friendly to the guys renting umbrellas and chairs at arashi, offer a cold coke or balashi and they will keep an eye out as well

Very easy, just walk out of the cruise terminal and there are plenty of taxis to choose from. When you get to the beach they will ask you what time you want to return and take your photo graph. this enables them to recognise you, in case its a differant driver. Or there is the public bus, that i believe runs every 30 minutes.

Ciao le spiagge sono tutte libere e puoi portarti delle sedie sdraio che puoi avere se vai in ville e case o b e b... le capanne e gli ombrelloni in paglia sono pubblici tranne quelli dei resort. Se invece vuoi le classiche sdraio come da noi le puoi noleggiare a 8 $ al giorno cad. In tutta l'isola.

La distancia aproximada en vehículo es de 15 min. si no hay tráfico en el centro.

I didn't try any food but I can tell you that they charged me $5.00 US to just sit and wait for my fellow passengers to get back to the bus. I don't swim and have a hard time walking so I thought it would be best for me to stay at the bar/restaurant. I was pretty stunned when asked to "pay" to sit. The beach did look beautiful.

Baby Beach would likely be too far; may want to try Eagle Beach as an alternative.

Hi! It depends on what you like to do in a beach. If you want just to hang out I would go to the Eagle Beach. However if you are more on adventure side the best bet is Boca Catalina or Baby Beach. The best thing about Baby Beach is that you can rent everything you could need for a snorkeling and it's less populated. Ether one is a lot of fun.
