User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend checking out Nigel's Beach Bar. While snorkeling, we did encounter some slight stinging sensations, possibly from small jellyfish or coral spores, but it wasn't anything major - just a bit bothersome. Additionally, the beach boasts beautiful golden fine sand."
Craig Light
"This beach boasts stunning golden sand that is fine to the touch. It's a peaceful spot with two beach bar restaurants and ample parking. The southern end of the bay offers decent snorkeling opportunities."
