Swim shoes for Paradise Beach?

[princessdivaapril]

We have been before but never got into water. Is it rocky? Do we need them? Or can we go in water barefoot?

It is very rocky when you walk in/out of the ocean, so they would be helpful. However, I would only buy them and bring them if you think you will use them again. We didn't have them on our trip and we managed OK.

Perhaps it matters where you are on the beach. I do not remember it being rocky at all!

You can enter the water to the NORTH of the beach without water shoes....but I have always insisted that my sons wear water shoes....
