User reviews

"This beach is a great spot for families to enjoy. It's also a safe place to visit as there are no reports of theft or robbery. Additionally, the food stalls serve delicious regional cuisine that will leave your taste buds satisfied. Just be cautious of the reckless bikers on the beach road. And, to top it off, the beach has beautiful golden sand."

Hafnaz

"This beach located in the eastern province is a true oasis of tranquility. With the gentle breeze blowing through the air, you can't help but feel completely relaxed and at ease. However, it's important to note that this beach tends to get quite busy during the weekends and holidays. Nonetheless, it's still worth a visit to bask in the natural beauty of this serene location."
