User reviews

"The beach is absolutely lovely with an abundance of palm trees providing ample shade. However, it is important to be cautious of the coconuts as they have been known to fall and could potentially cause harm. It is best to take precautions and avoid standing directly under any trees."

"The beach is lovely and not too busy, offering ample shaded areas beneath the trees. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color."
