User reviews
"During our week-long sailboat trip, we had the chance to visit the beach using a dinghy. It was truly remarkable to witness the serene waters of this beach. Although we were unable to experience the tiki bar due to its closure during our visit, it seemed quite appealing. Public restrooms were available, but as far as I know, there were no nearby hotels in the vicinity."
Lila Thompson
"It's a really awesome place. The beach is quite long yet narrow. The water is absolutely stunning and there are plenty of opportunities to swim alongside turtles. We even had the chance to spot stingrays and other fish. It's a fantastic spot to spend the entire day relaxing by the beach."
