Unfortunately, when we arrived at the beach between 2-3 pm, the path leading to the steps down to the beach was closed.

This beach is a sight for sore eyes! The sandy coastline is hugged by a lush jungle, complete with walking trails that are perfect for a leisurely stroll. But beware of the sneaky raccoons lurking around, ready to snatch your belongings. We had to resort to hoisting our bags up a tree while we took a dip in the ocean. Talk about a wild adventure!

The coastal region is undeniably stunning, however, the path leading to the beach is currently inaccessible. Regrettably, this information is only disclosed after traversing a considerable distance down a dilapidated and hazardous set of wooden steps. It would have been immensely helpful to have been alerted beforehand about the beach closure, and the state of the stairs is truly disappointing.
