The beach is really lovely with its stunning black sand and warm water, but unfortunately, the beach bar is quite pricey. Despite that, it was still a pleasant experience overall.

The beach bar is absolutely lovely, with a great sound system and a talented DJ that creates the perfect atmosphere for watching the sunset in a relaxed setting. The cocktails are delicious and expertly crafted, and the bartenders are friendly and welcoming. It's important to be aware of the mosquitos, but there's not much that can be done except using mosquito spray. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience!

This place has the potential to be stunning, as it's conveniently located near the port and offers free access. The scenery is truly breathtaking. However, it was quite disappointing to find it dirty. In just a 20-meter radius, we managed to gather a whole bag of trash. To make matters worse, there was even plastic floating in the water. It's truly disheartening.

It's definitely an intriguing and one-of-a-kind destination to explore, although the odor can be quite overpowering and there is a fee of 6 euros for a chair.
