User reviews

"Our visit to this beach was a delightful experience. Being first-timers, we were impressed by its peaceful ambiance. We were amazed by the abundance of unique shells we found and the children had a blast playing with the hermit crabs. The sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful and left us in awe. We are already planning our next trip back to this beach."
