The beach is stunning and offers a breathtaking view of the mountains, but Google Maps has the location wrong. It's actually further down the road, and you'll know you've found it when you see the sign and public parking. Bathrooms are available, and you can choose your spot after passing by the cannon and bags. If you continue walking, you'll come across a charming boutique hotel and beachfront restaurant where you can enjoy lunch or a cocktail. I preferred this beach over Tamarin Beach, and it's only a ten-minute drive away.

This public beach on the southeast coast is absolutely delightful and makes for an excellent spot to catch a stunning sunset. Additionally, the beach boasts golden sand which only adds to its charm.

Although not ideal for swimming due to the strong current that persists most of the day, this beach is a great spot for fishing. Additionally, the beach boasts beautiful golden sand. While the grass may be a bit unkempt, the beach is still clean and free of litter.
