The beach offers of pristine waters and immaculate sand. Although the sandy area is limited, there are designated spots where visitors can lounge comfortably. For those who need to change into their swimwear, there is a cabin available, but kindly note that bikinis are not permitted. Additionally, there are shower facilities to rinse off after taking a dip in the ocean.
