User reviews
"Instead of swimming from the beach, I opted to relax at a small, unprofessional café located above it. To access the beach, you have to descend from a steep slope. Although the beach is narrow, the water is noticeably cleaner compared to other areas of the island, and it provides a stronger connection with nature (and possibly rougher waves, but I believe it's worth it)."

"The atmosphere at the beach is incredibly welcoming and friendly. It feels like a small, close-knit community where people from all over the world come together."
