"This beach is truly amazing! It is usually spotless and pristine, making for a wonderful experience. It is highly recommended that you leave your valuable belongings at your hotel or home, and only bring a few dinars for a refreshing beverage or some delicious, affordable food. The water is warm and inviting during the summer months, so you can take a dip at any time of day...."
