User reviews

"This cove is absolutely stunning and boasts at least five bars and restaurants with a great ambiance. We had a lovely morning stroll here and indulged in some refreshing iced coffee. Just a heads up, the photo on Google that includes the church is actually of the beach south of this one."

"This beach is perfect for relaxing and snorkeling. The underwater scenery is fantastic and there are plenty of options for purchasing refreshments and food. If you're fortunate, you may even have the opportunity to encounter a turtle!"
