    We would definitely recommend booking this! The hosts were very attentive, provided prompt transportation, and the pineapple provided was delicious. I just wanted to note though that beach vendors frequently try to sell you things while you're laying on the beach. This is not ideal, but I understand there is not much the provider can do about this.

    Great location, friendly staff. The perfect place for a day on the beach. Boogie boards were fun. Would do again.

    Great Beach Day!

    Matthew_W, Jan 2026
    Great day on the beach. Location was in a much less crowded area, which made it even nicer. Free fruit and water, along with beach side restaurant service and drinks. What more can you ask for. Parking was easy in and out. Only downside was the constant flow of vendors walking but trying to sell you their wares. However, after politely saying no thank you, they would move on. Overall great time!

    It was a pleasure hosting you! At Dante Water Sports, we believe the little details matter—from our location, the quality of the beach chairs to the freshness of the fruit. We are thrilled that you felt well taken care of. Come back and relax with us anytime!

    Experience was as expected. :)

    Jordan_C, Jun 2025
    Easy to spot. Chairs were ready as soon as 8am on the beach. They have a “Dante’s” sign. Overall, we paid for chairs & an umbrella. Which we got. So it met our expectations. We witnessed the surf lessons, although we didn’t want any, they seemed like they did a great job teaching others!

    Non stop parade of vendors to this area. And then we were taken to a bar/restaurant that was partnered with the excursion for drinks and food. We ordered 4 drinks and when we went to pay they charged $76. Felt like I paid $50 to get the rest of my money squeezed out of me!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent experience with Dante's Water Sports on Viator (Trip Advisor). This is Rayna Levin, co owner of Dante's Water sports. We genuinely appreciate your honesty and are sorry to hear that certain aspects of your day left you feeling frustrated. We are a small company and EVERY client's experience is important to us. We understand your concern regarding the ambulatory vendors on the beach. Please know that this is a public beach, and as such, the presence of these independent vendors is unfortunately outside of our control. We strive to ensure our guests have a relaxing time, and we regret that this aspect detracted from your enjoyment. Regarding your experience at the partnered restaurant/bar, we are truly sorry if you felt misled. Did they give you a menu ahead of time to know what you could order or the prices of the drinks? Was you bill inaccurate based on the menu provided? Our intention in recommending this establishment is to provide a convenient and comfortable option for our guests to relax, enjoy refreshments, and continue their day. We want to clarify that Dante's Water Sports does not own or operate this restaurant, and we have no control over their pricing. We were under the impression that menus with clear pricing were provided before you placed your order, and we sincerely apologize if this was not the case, or if the pricing came as an unexpected surprise. We would be more than happy to refund any over charges or erroneous amounts. Please let us know! Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are constantly working to improve our guest's experiences and we will certainly take your comments into consideration as we review our partnerships and the information we provide to guests about dining options. We hope that despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy the beautiful waters and activities provided by Dante's Water Sports.

    We had a great time. Nice...

    We had a great time. Nice that you have a small restaurant next door for food and drinks. We stayed for 5 hours and when we were ready to leave they drove us back to the hotel.

    Amazing experience. They...

    Amazing experience. They made sure we had everything we needed for a fun day the beach! Highly recommended

    Very fun beach/surf day

    Daniel_D, Feb 2025
    Dante and team did a fantastic job on our beach day. Enjoyed the chairs with umbrellas and waves were great for body boarding. Kids chose to add on the surfing lessons which they loved. View and drink service were excellent.

    Beach, The Easy Way

    It is a really convenient way to get to and from the beach with no climbing. Plus you get beach chairs and an umbrella. Great experience, wonderful staff, and beautiful beach. Also, you can stay along as you want. I give it a 10
