This spot is a stunning spot to go for a swim. However, it's worth noting that there are no shower facilities available. On the plus side, there are plenty of options for refreshments, including coffee, alcohol, and small bottles of water. Additionally, the beach boasts golden sand that adds to its natural beauty.
