Ah, the beach. A picturesque paradise for those who love to splash around in the cool waters of the sea and lagoon. The shallow waters make it a perfect spot for the little ones to frolic and play. And to top it off, the best way to arrive at this oasis is by boat. Who needs a plane when you can sail away to a slice of heaven?
