TL;DR
If you want easier, shallower sea entry, a beach like Regency may suit you better: it stays shallow for a long distance and has little or no reef. Pontoon beaches give faster access to deep water and coral, but they can feel noisier and less comfortable if you dislike jumping straight into depth.
Travelers noted that animals moving in a straight line are unlikely to be dolphins, which usually surface in an arc. That is a useful detail if you are choosing a beach or boat trip mainly for marine-life sightings.
According to traveler feedback, the neighboring beach is mainly usable via a pontoon and feels fairly noisy. It may suit visitors who want quick access to deep water and reef areas, but not those looking for a quiet beach with direct shoreline entry.
Guests say Regency has little or no reef, so fish life is limited, and you need to walk a long way through shallow water before it gets deep. Still, that can be a better choice for travelers who prefer gradual beach entry rather than stepping off a pontoon into deep water.
A boat trip to see dolphins may be uncomfortable: one traveler reported very strong waves on such an excursion. If you get seasick or prefer relaxed swimming, choosing a beach with easy sea entry may be more practical than going offshore by boat.
