User reviews
"This beach is absolutely stunning! It's a great option if you're looking for a secluded spot. Just keep in mind that there aren't any amenities nearby, so make sure to bring your own drinks and shade. The water is crystal clear and there are some rocks nearby that make for a great snorkeling or spearfishing experience."

"The beach was fantastic - not only was it peaceful and isolated, but it was also easily accessible. In fact, besides ourselves, there was only one other couple there."
