User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning with ample room, food stalls, and restaurants. It's perfect for novice swimmers and kids since it doesn't have a steep incline, although there are slightly larger rocks on the ocean floor. Towards the south, you'll find fascinating hexagon platforms that are ideal for lounging and basking in the warm sun."
Crisp Finch
"The beach is decent, with clear and pleasantly warm water. However, it can be quite bothersome as there are far too many people crowding around, practically on top of you or just a few centimeters away. Additionally, the constant noise from numerous children yelling makes it difficult to truly unwind and enjoy the beach, which is quite disappointing."
