User reviews

"This beach is one of my top choices for fishing. The fishing season typically runs from March to November, and there are plenty of private fishing boat services available for hire. Whether you prefer fishing during the day or at night, this beach offers both options. Anglers often visit this spot to catch the Spanish Mackerel, which is locally known as Tenggiri."
