There are beach / vacation houses owned usually by wealthy locals and rented out by middle class locals during different parts of the year... but there are never lots of people out there... If you ever see 20 on the beach that's a lot. It's a looooong stretch of beach, with very rough waters not really conducive to swimming. But surfers like it, and there are natural rock pools in the reef that you can wade in at low tide. My favourite place on earth :)
