The beach features a stunning natural beauty that will leave you in awe. However, it is regrettable that the beach is not as clean as it should be. Moreover, the waterline is littered with fragments of coral, stones, and even broken bottles, making it advisable to wear water shoes. There are no restaurant or bar services available on the beach, only sunbed rentals. Therefore, it is recommended to bring your own food and drinks to enjoy your time on the beach.

Oh my goodness! The sunset is absolutely breathtaking, and the beach is still undergoing development. However, the pristine, crystal-clear water and the soft, powdery white sand make for an unparalleled swimming experience.

The beach has recently changed hands and is now managed by passionate American conservationists who run an excellent dive school. I would highly recommend checking them out! However, I must give the beach a 3-star rating as the snorkel reef has unfortunately been washed away due to recent storms. On a positive note, a brand new boardwalk facility is currently being constructed and is set to open in January 2023, providing a fantastic spot for swimming.

This charming little beach has a cozy stretch of sand and is conveniently located near a dive center. While it may not be the ultimate snorkeling destination, it certainly offers a decent experience. It's not the most exceptional, but it's certainly not subpar either.

Nestled in a cozy cove lies a petite beach, home to a reputable diving school. During our visit, the ocean boasted a soft, sandy floor, but unfortunately, the abundance of marine life was lacking during our snorkeling excursion.
