User reviews

"This beach is absolutely fantastic and offers a secluded atmosphere with plenty of space to spread out and avoid any crowds. While there is a bit of a current, swimming and snorkeling are still possible, although it's recommended to wear water shoes due to the presence of fire coral. Additionally, the sunset views from this beach are simply stunning."

"The beach is a magnificent destination, however, it's advisable not to overcrowd the area."

What to do in Red Beryl? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Red Beryl can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Red Beryl welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
