User reviews
"To truly experience this beach, timing is everything. If you arrive during peak hours, be prepared to compete for limited parking and a spot on the small stretch of sand. However, if you are fortunate enough to make it, consider bringing a canoe or dinghy as this is a popular spot for launching them."
Innovative Ideas.
"This stunning beach has a picturesque location, accessible via both a wooden staircase and a scenic path at the top of the beach. The sand is soft and golden, and the locals are friendly and welcoming. It's the perfect spot to soak up the sun and enjoy a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters."
