User reviews
"This beach boasts soft sand and is a popular destination for tourists on a budget. Additionally, it provides access to some of the world's top Scuba Diving spots, including Shark Reef (although the sharks are currently absent) and Anemone City, home to the beloved Clownfish. However, reaching these spots requires strong swimming skills."

"The reef is really impressive and the depth is crazy. The fish are pretty bold, but thankfully they're not dangerous."
