Although you cannot swim right in front of the resort, you can walk downthe hill and go immediately to the right and walk to the end of where themarina begins (10 minutes tops) and there is a locals beach there. It isquiet but no frills, no restaurants, no drink carts, no people on thebeach selling you anything, etc. You can bring your own cooler and justrelax. The other beaches are just a short cab ride ($3-5) or a shortwater taxi away if you want to get in at the marina and go to Medanobeach.
