User reviews
"This beach is truly remarkable, as it offers a wonderful opportunity to spot numerous turtles with ease. The sand is a bit rough, but it adds to the charm of the place. However, it's worth mentioning that the tree behind the beach can be a hub for ants, so it's advisable to steer clear of it while setting up your beach blanket, if possible."
Dennard
"Although there is a brief stroll required, the destination is absolutely worth it. The facilities are quite convenient, with well-maintained restrooms that are both hygienic and odor-free. As we gazed out at the ocean, we were delighted to spot no fewer than fifteen turtles swimming near the shore, and a few more resting on the sand - these creatures were truly massive!"
