To fully enjoy your time at this beach, it is imperative that you bring mosquito repellent. These pesky insects are known to swarm and bite after sunset, leaving you with itchy and uncomfortable bites. Don't underestimate their presence, as we did initially. Luckily, we stumbled upon an Italian pizza restaurant on our way and decided to grab some repellent, which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Aside from the mosquitoes, this beach is definitely worth a visit. The scenery is breathtaking and the experience of witnessing the bioluminescence phenomenon after 8pm is truly magical. The darker it gets, the more enchanting the experience becomes. So, pack your bags, bring some mosquito repellent, and get ready for a memorable trip to this amazing beach.
