This stunning beach boasts crystal-clear waters and immaculate, soft sand that is perfect for lounging or playing beach games. Snorkeling enthusiasts will be delighted by the vibrant marine life and colorful corals that can be spotted beneath the surface. While there are a few fishing boats that occasionally dot the shoreline, the beach remains largely unspoiled and peaceful. Although it is recommended to keep an eye on personal belongings, there are plenty of friendly locals and energetic teenagers who frequent the beach and create a lively atmosphere. If you're looking for a serene escape, visit on a weekday when the beach is virtually deserted, allowing you to soak in the beauty of this hidden gem without any distractions.
