"The sand on this beach is abundant and vibrant, creating a luxurious feel underfoot. A brief stroll down the shore allows for a peaceful escape to the tranquil sea. The view toward the north showcases the stunning contrast between the vast blue ocean and the clear sky, illuminated by the afternoon sun from the south."
