User reviews
"This charming beach is a gem worth visiting. Arrive early to secure a prime spot on the soft sand, as it tends to fill up quickly around 10:30-11:00. The beach is a haven for snorkelers, with an abundance of fish of all sizes to admire. The rocky coastline is also an ideal location for swimming, providing a delightful view of the lively fish swimming in the clear waters."
Jaren Miles
"The beach offers breathtaking scenery, although its narrowness renders it a bustling hub in no time. Two petite beaches can be accessed from this spot. The water's depth rapidly increases, providing for a refreshing swim."
