"This beach is a great place to visit. It offers a good value for money and is conveniently located near rafting activities and restaurants where you can savor local dishes. You're welcome to bring your own food, and there are seating options available with tables. Additionally, there are designated areas for playing soccer and volleyball. I highly recommend it."
