Beautiful expansive beach with 6-8 car park space with public toilet facilities. The beach itself is very near to the car park and is very clean. A White sandy beach with shallow coast.. however I was very surprised to see lots of Jelly fishes, all along the beach making almost a barrier to be crossed!!.. My son got so frightened once he got to know what they are, that he didn't crossed that barrier and was happy enough to stay towards the safer side.. All in all we enjoyed it and definitely recommended!!
