Depends on your age and if you are active and in good shape. There is a lot of walking over lava rocks which can be dangerous if your foot slips. My brother and I are in our 40s and walked from our condo to the beach in 15-20 minutes. When we took our parents who are in their 70s it took us 45 minutes. It's a small secluded beach and the sand gets extremely hot! It's a quick drop off once you get in the water and very rocky, but it's incredible for snorkeling!
