User reviews
"The beach is a fantastic spot for surfing with a mostly flat rock bottom. The water is shallow, and there is convenient access through a stair case. Additionally, you can enjoy the company of numerous turtles that come up for air while waiting for a wave."

"It was absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to witness turtles feeding all along the beach during our visit."
