The beach is the main attraction here, with its beautiful golden fine sand.

2 Very poor

After hearing tales of frequent harassment, I believed I could manage it, but the reality was far too much. Furthermore, I don't mind being perceived as a foreigner since I comprehend the value of a dollar to them. However, they attempted to charge me a ludicrous sum of $180 for a pair of sun loungers and hamburgers, and I had to haggle to bring the price down. This outrageous behavior has left me with no desire to return to the beach.

8 Very good

One of the most scenic beaches that draws visitors from near and far. The beach is a perfect summer destination where one can bask in the sun and enjoy the cool breeze. While there are rental houses available at reasonable prices, it is advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment. However, finding a parking spot can be a daunting task due to the high volume of cars that flock to this popular spot.
