"This beach is absolutely breathtaking! It's a true wonder of nature that must be experienced in person. I highly recommend visiting soon so that you can take a boat tour of the nearby caves. Don't forget to book your spot in advance to ensure that you don't miss out on this incredible opportunity."
Niklas Jansen
"While the beach is decent, it's not the top contender among other beaches. Nevertheless, taking a trip to the cave is definitely worth it. It's not too difficult to swim to the cave, but it does require some swimming ability and physical fitness. For those who are not strong swimmers, I suggest renting a kayak to get there."
