What a delightful spot! It's not overrun with tourists, so you can actually enjoy the sand and surf without feeling like a sardine. Plus, it's perfect for little ones to frolic in the waves. I can't wait to return and soak up more of this idyllic seaside setting.

Although not as well-known as TC Teluk Cempedak or Cherating, this beach offers a serene and tranquil setting. The scenery is breathtaking and provides a sense of calmness that is hard to find elsewhere.
