User reviews
"The beach has an amazing view and is absolutely stunning, making it perfect for swimming. They also provide various water sports activities and tours. I had an incredible experience parasailing, it was truly awesome. Cubano, the person in the picture with me, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the water sports. The view from up above was quite impressive."
Daisy Martin
"The beach is absolutely breathtaking, with the ability to stroll in either direction for miles. Occasionally, there was seaweed present, but it didn't diminish the beauty of the beach. It certainly didn't deter us from enjoying leisurely walks or taking a refreshing swim in the ocean."
