Name: This beach is a sight to behold with its stunning beauty. As a local, I have noticed some changes over the years, including the addition of a dedicated coastguard team to ensure safety. While the water may not be crystal clear, it is still suitable for swimming and enjoying a lovely picnic. The view of the Celebes Sea is simply breathtaking and truly magnificent.
