There is currently a strong current near Baron area — swimming left from it is difficult, and waves have picked up. A safer route is swimming with the current from Palms to the resort, rather than against it.

Sometimes it's possible to slip past mooring yachts into the water unnoticed — staff don't always whistle or stop swimmers.
The beach entry near Jazz Corner is comfortable with plenty of fish visible in the shallows right from shore. Water feels cool at first but you quickly adjust.

The Sunny Days beach entry is one of the better spots. Water gets warmer in the evening, but from 4pm onwards returning yachts and small boats cause chaos — noise, fuel smell, and drivers who deliberately scare swimmers.

Some beach entry points are awkward: moored yachts on one side with fuel smell, sharp rocks on the other where you can easily hurt your feet. The water in these spots can also feel quite cold.
Shallow water near certain shore entry points teems with cornetfish, which have grown accustomed to swimmers and don't flee.
