Nice beach to soak up some rays and feel the refreshing breeze. You can bask in the sun and absorb some much-needed vitamins. While there may be some seaweed present, it adds to the natural charm of the area. The beach is a popular tourist destination, with a thriving industry that caters to visitors' needs. Kite surfing is a favorite activity here, and the mix of sand makes it an ideal location for this sport.

The beach is truly delightful, however, it seems to be more popular among the locals. Unfortunately, it's not easily accessible without a car or motorbike. It's important to bring all necessary food supplies and grilling equipment as there are no nearby amenities. The barrier reef is situated very close to the beach, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling enthusiasts. Although the beach is not particularly wide, it is quite long and surrounded by trees which provide ample shade from the sun.
