User reviews

"The beach is pristine and stunning, with a plethora of options for entertainment and cuisine. However, it can become quite congested on weekends. There are numerous beachfront chalets and homestays that can be reserved. The beach is ideal for camping due to its gentle slope. Additionally, it is home to a seaturtle hatching and preservation exhibit."

Amani Jazil

"This serene beach is a perfect spot to take a brief and uncomplicated respite. However, the road leading to it is quite narrow and could become congested with vehicles on weekends. It's worth noting that there are no waste receptacles available. Nevertheless, the surrounding trees and the beach itself are truly magnificent."
