This beach may seem like a haven for relaxation, but don't be fooled by its deceptive appearance. The amount of litter strewn about is a glaring reminder of the careless and irresponsible visitors who frequent this spot. While the sand may be pleasant to the touch, the overall ambiance is far from serene. Only a rare gem could remain hidden amidst such a bleak and disappointing setting.
