However, there is one aspect that is noticeably lacking. For individuals who are not interested in beachside activities, this destination is still a great choice. By incorporating a variety of activities, sports, games, or other attractions, it could become even more appealing to a diverse range of people. Currently, there is only a small playground available for children. If there were some captivating rides, it would greatly enhance the experience for families with kids. Additionally, there are a few food shops available. Aside from these minor drawbacks, this place is guaranteed to capture your heart.
