User reviews

"Observing and frolicking alongside turtles is an awe-inspiring experience at the beach. Despite the bustling presence of tourists, it remains a humbling encounter. It is wise to heed the guidance of the locals and refrain from touching the turtles."

Nara Jie

"While the beach may not be exceptional, it is definitely worth a visit to catch sight of the sea turtles. Additionally, the sand is light and mixed with pebbles."
