It's unfortunate that such a beautiful spot is marred by the litter left behind by some visitors.

The beach is not particularly impressive but it does have beautiful golden sand.

10 Exceptional

The beach of my childhood had golden sand, which was a delightful sight to behold. The sand was soft and warm to the touch, making it perfect for sunbathing and building sandcastles. I have fond memories of spending lazy afternoons on this beach, playing in the water and soaking up the sun. It was a serene and peaceful place that always brought me joy and relaxation.
