"There is a stunning cave hidden in the heart of Kamasutra Beach Park, which you can discover by gazing at the mountains rather than the beach. It is truly breathtaking!"
Luna Alvarez
"The beach has a lot of rocks and the sand feels like quicksand, but it's still a great spot for swimming due to its calmness."
