User reviews

"The beach is absolutely fantastic and perfect for swimming. It's particularly ideal for women who want to take a dip. Additionally, the sand is golden and beautiful. However, there tends to be a large and bothersome crowd before 10:30 in the morning."

"The beach boasts a plethora of traditional canoes, making it a popular fishing landing site. Additionally, the beach's golden sand adds to its natural beauty."
