Crescent beach
8 Lady Eliza

The beach offers of breathtaking sunsets that paint the sky with a spectrum of colors every evening. The sand is immaculately white and finely textured, providing a cool respite from the scorching sun. It's a serene haven, with fewer crowds and a shorter distance to the water as compared to the main beach. However, the only downside is the absence of foot showers, which can be a bit of a nuisance. Overall, the beach is a tranquil paradise that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
