The beach is definitely worth a visit with its stunning beauty and breathtaking sunsets. The landscape is also quite fascinating, and the golden fine sand adds to the charm. There is a convenient wooden pathway that leads to the cliff, which is easily accessible. Additionally, there is ample parking space available. For surf enthusiasts, the beach is a great spot with good waves.
