User reviews
"This beach is a true gem, with its natural beauty still intact. Regrettably, when we visited during the rainy season, the sandy shoreline was quite limited. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this beach over the more well-known ones, as it is much more serene and less congested. A definite thumbs up!"

"The beach is not well-kept, but it is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. However, visitors must bring their own seating or inflatable beds, as there are no benches provided. Additionally, there are no hotels or dining options available in the area. Despite these drawbacks, the beach offers a tranquil and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life."
