User reviews
"The cost may be a tad high as there is an additional charge for admission along with renting a chair and an umbrella, but the staff is amicable. The beach is stunning and incredibly accessible as we were situated directly in front of it. The sand is pristine and the ocean is an absolute dream!"
Santino.
"The beach is a pleasant spot to spend a day with a $6 USD entrance fee and additional charges for beach chairs and umbrellas. Our visit in October 2021 was enjoyable, with a serene atmosphere and no overcrowding. A few vendors were present, offering coconuts and other refreshments. However, it is important to note that alcohol is prohibited on the beach."
