User reviews
"The beach is stunning, but it tends to get overcrowded, and they charge for the use of the restroom even if you've already paid for two seats at $15. Out of the seven beaches we visited, this was the only one that didn't have restroom facilities. Nonetheless, the water is gorgeous and provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling."

"The beach is stunning! However, when we went during peak season, it was quite crowded and we couldn't find any shaded areas. The parking lot was also completely full despite its large size. The snack bar had limited options, so it might be better to bring your own food and drinks like the locals do."
