Charming small beach. No stores or eateries. There is a restroom and some picnic tables. A couple of tree swings are available.

Stunning natural beach with fascinating little ghost crabs scurrying across the coral-strewn sand. The shoreline is adorned with mangrove trees and palms, and frogs provide a melodic backdrop at sunset. However, it's best to avoid swimming here because of the presence of stingers and crocodiles.

This beach is located in a fairly secluded area but is easy to drive to (just watch out for the oversized speed bumps on the way in). During our visit, there were only about 4 other people on the beach. Parking is limited, but since the beach isn't crowded, finding a spot isn't difficult. There are toilets available, and it's a very short walk from the car to the beach. The beach itself is beautiful and clean, with plenty of walking areas. There are warning signs for stingers and crocodiles, so swimming is not recommended. There is a stinger relief first aid spot, but it was empty when we arrived. There's a small camping area next to the parking lot where some people seemed to have settled in. A nice water hole and creek run out to the ocean, offering great photo opportunities and beautiful scenery. The creek is shallow, making it easy to walk across and access the entire length of the beach.

A truly stunning, serene, and untouched beach. Avoid swimming during the hotter seasons due to the likely presence of dangerous jellyfish. Always heed the notices and signs, as they provide important information. Currently, the water is off-limits due to recent crocodile sightings. (These creatures can leap to catch their prey, so keep a safe distance of at least a few meters from the shallow areas.)
