This beach is a wonderful location for a leisurely picnic or a relaxing stroll along the shore. It is conveniently connected to a series of beaches that run alongside the hotels. In the past, this island was affectionately known as "Lover's Island" and was a popular spot for picnics before the arrival of the fisherman boats. Nowadays, the boats add to the picturesque scenery. The beach offers basic amenities and is frequented by hotel guests and locals, but it never gets too crowded. While the water is generally clean, it may not be crystal clear and there is a chance of encountering jellyfish or debris. Parking can be a challenge, but the sand is lovely and the nearby national park provides a stunning backdrop.

After experiencing the beach, it's difficult to fathom that we exist in a world of material possessions. The view is absolutely stunning and the environment is pristine! I would be thrilled to return with my loved ones for a brief getaway. 🏖️

The beach is a wonderful location for a leisurely picnic or a relaxing stroll. It is part of a series of beaches that run alongside the hotels. In the past, the island was affectionately known as "Lover's Island" and was an ideal spot for picnics. The addition of the fisherman boats has only enhanced the beauty of the area, making it a picturesque location for photography.
