4 Frustrating

The beach experience was quite costly and the food quality was subpar. The prices for everything were exorbitant and it's no wonder why visitors opt to bring their own snacks like Maruchan noodles.

The beach is a delightful and captivating destination. The water is invitingly warm and crystal clear. The waves are gentle and the sand is soft and pleasant to walk on. The bustling atmosphere is filled with vendors selling a variety of refreshments and services. This location and the surrounding city are truly charming and I highly recommend visiting. Have a wonderful time!

An ideal spot to relish a refreshing morning by the ocean. The undulating waves are gentle, and the beach boasts a charming ambiance without being overly crowded. For a reasonable fee, you can hire chairs, tables, and tents. Additionally, all the usual beach facilities are readily available.
