We loved Magen's Bay and almost didn't go because of some negative reports we had read about Jet Skis and noise. It was very peaceful when we were there but just enough activity on the beach and at the bar/restaurant to not make you feel totally secluded. We were there on a Sunday. The bar/restaurant did close at 4:00 but by then we were ready to go back to the boat. If you anchor just off the swim buoys you can swim ashore. Do not try to paddle board right into the beach. They are very strict about any type of crafts accessing the beach besides from the far end (north side) of the beach and then you can unload but have to anchor your dinghy out. We suggest swimming ashore...much easier.
