The beach is a stunning location to discover and indulge in snorkeling. Although there may not be an abundance of fish to observe, the area is breathtaking for swimming and admiring the boat wreckage or taking a refreshing plunge into the crystal-clear waters. It's important to note that the beach is not easily accessible, and the safest way to swim is from the sides.

Accessing the beach from the eastern side can be a bit of a challenge as you may have to wade through waist-deep water to reach the sandy shores. However, this minor inconvenience is well worth it once you set foot on the picturesque beach and take in the stunning views of the ocean.

The beach offers of an extraordinary feature that sets it apart from other beaches - a shipwreck! This natural landmark adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the already beautiful scenery. It's a perfect spot for photo enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The shipwreck has been there for years, slowly being taken over by nature, providing a glimpse into the past. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the beach.

This location is a true gem, especially for those who love to explore the underwater world. It boasts of numerous arches and tunnels hidden beneath the rocks, which are perfect for diving. Although I didn't have my computer with me, I estimate that the water depth is no more than 7-8 meters. The water is so clear that you can see everything beneath the surface with ease. I am already planning my return trip to this paradise. However, it's worth noting that the only way to access this beach is via a long and winding gravel road.
