User reviews
"The beach is a breathtakingly beautiful natural wonder, with its untamed and unspoiled beauty. Unfortunately, the strong and perilous currents make it unsafe for swimming. Nonetheless, the beach remains a sight to behold. Although there were a handful of people present, we had the whole beach to ourselves when we arrived early in the morning."
Sarina Delgado
"I absolutely adored this beach! It felt like our own private oasis as we were the only ones there. Unfortunately, the currents were too strong for swimming, but the breathtaking scenery made up for it. We took a leisurely stroll to the end of the beach and enjoyed the serene atmosphere while paddling in the water."
