User reviews

"This beach is a peaceful escape from the busier Megano. It's ideal for families with young kids who can enjoy playing in the shallow water and sandbars during low tide. One sandbar even had people playing mini soccer on it. The beauty of this beach is truly breathtaking and unforgettable."
