"The beach is truly lovely, boasting unique blackish sand that adds to its charm. During my visit in March 2018, I was delighted to find a plethora of Turritella (or Mesalia?) shells and a few other species, including a Conus. I was thrilled to capture some stunning photos of these beautiful creatures."

"A place to unwind, soak up some sun, and listen to the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. It's like a vacation in a bottle, except it's not in a bottle, it's a whole big expanse of sand and water. And let's not forget about the delightful feeling of sand sticking to every inch of your body, making it impossible to get rid of no matter how many times you shak..."
