This desolate and squalid beach is a wasteland of litter and debris. It appears as though it has been neglected and left to rot, with no regard for the environment or the safety of those who may visit. The unsightly mess is a blight on the natural beauty of the area and a clear indication of the lack of care and attention paid to its upkeep. It's a shame that such a potentially stunning location has been allowed to fall into such disrepair.

My recent escape to Costa Azul was a breathtaking experience. I highly recommend staying in one of the cozy cabins on the beach to catch the stunning sunrise. The locals were incredibly hospitable and accommodating, adding to the overall charm of the place. I'm already anticipating my next visit to this heavenly destination.

The river's width and depth at this point are incredibly shallow and narrow, creating a fascinating spectacle of numerous people swimming and fishing in its waters. It's a delightful sight to behold, and one that adds to the charm of the beach.

The beach is a pristine and secure location that caters to families, although it is essential to exercise caution since I did not spot any lifeguards on duty.
