This beach is absolutely breathtaking. The sand stretches on for miles and is so soft and powdery, it feels like walking on a cloud. If you're looking for a place to relax and soak up the sun, there are plenty of palapas and loungers available for rent. The water can be a bit choppy at times, but it's still refreshing and enjoyable. And don't forget to indulge in the mouth-watering donuts sold right on the beach - they're simply divine!

This beach is a pristine haven, with ample space to spread out and enjoy the sun, sand, and surf. Safety is a top priority, as lifeguards are on duty to ensure that everyone can swim and play without worry. For those who want to take it easy, renting comfortable chairs is an option. Families with children will find this beach especially appealing, as there is plenty of room to build sandcastles and play games. But even solo travelers will appreciate the tranquility and stunning views of the sunrise. And when hunger strikes, there are restaurants serving up delicious seafood caught fresh from the nearby waters.

The parking area is effortlessly accessible, and a boardwalk leads to the stunning beach. During the peak bathing season, sunbeds and parasols are available for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, as October marks the end of the season, only a few rows of well-spaced parasols are present. It's a delightful experience to stroll along the beach, taking in the beautiful scenery.

The beach was abundant with jellyfish both on the shore and in the water. There was also an abundance of seaweed, but once you passed that, the experience was delightful. The bars located on the beach were extremely welcoming and hospitable.

The beach is lovely, however during the month of August it tends to be quite congested, especially when the tide is high. 😁😁
