This splendid shoreline is at its prime during low tide, allowing for an extensive stroll along its sandy expanse. The amenities are kept in top-notch condition, although it is advised to bring your own toilet paper as it may not be provided.

Wow, what a journey it was to get to this beach! But was it worth it? Absolutely! The sitting areas are so fresh and new, you'd think they were just created yesterday. And don't even get me started on the bathrooms - they're practically fit for royalty. The ramp and stairs are a nice touch too, but let's talk about the real star of the show: the views. They're absolutely stunning! It's like Mother Nature herself decided to put on a show just for us. Overall, I'd say this beach is definitely worth the trek. Just make sure to bring your camera, because you're going to want to capture every moment of this natural wonderland.

The introduction of a 100 peso toll and a new walkway has been made to this beach since my last visit, which was previously free of charge and lacked a walkway. Despite these changes, I am not convinced that the toll is justified. Nevertheless, the beach remains a serene and picturesque location, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain range. We spent hours relaxing in the gentle waves and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
