The beach is stunning! However, when we went during peak season, it was quite crowded and we couldn't find any shaded areas. The parking lot was also completely full despite its large size. The snack bar had limited options, so it might be better to bring your own food and drinks like the locals do.

The beach offers of a velvety and ivory sand, accompanied by a breathtaking azure water. Cliff diving is a thrilling activity that adds to the fun. Snorkeling is decent, but not exceptional. We got there by 9:30 in the morning and it wasn't too crowded yet. However, by 10 o'clock, the beach was teeming with people. If it weren't for the crowd, this place would have been a paradise. Nonetheless, the hustle and bustle of the beach was a tad overwhelming for my liking.

The beach is stunning and the snorkeling opportunities are average. However, there are no shower facilities available. The only amenities provided are beach chairs, but there are plenty of trees that offer shade. The water is crystal clear.

The beach is stunning, but it tends to get overcrowded, and they charge for the use of the restroom even if you've already paid for two seats at $15. Out of the seven beaches we visited, this was the only one that didn't have restroom facilities. Nonetheless, the water is gorgeous and provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling.
