User reviews
"The beach has rocky terrain with easy access to the water, making it suitable for diving. It is a pleasant and clean spot. On one particular day, we encountered a high tide that brought in a significant amount of algae and lichen. However, we understand that this is a natural occurrence. Luckily, after two days, the beach returned to its normal state."

"The beach is bustling during the day, but becomes peaceful and serene at night. I had a lovely time taking a stroll along the marina in the evening."
