I would suggest visiting this beach only during low tide and note that only cars with 4x4 capabilities should attempt to enter. However, it's worth the extra effort to get there because the golden sand and beautiful scenery are truly worth it. Plus, the walk from the parking area is minimal.

This beach is truly stunning, with crystal-clear water and plenty of shaded areas to relax in. However, it's important to come prepared with mosquito repellent or a vacuum cleaner, as these pesky insects can make an appearance during rainy weather. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to this picturesque spot.
