This beach is absolutely stunning and perfect for snorkeling and relaxing. I visited for the first time today and I'm so happy I did! It wasn't overcrowded and there was a good mix of locals and tourists. We even got to witness a local training some horses in the water, which was really cool. My wife and I had a great time and parking was a breeze. Plus, there's a bar and restaurant just steps away from the beach.

The beach offers stunning scenery with an abundance of palm trees providing ample shade. The sand is soft and golden, and the waves are gentle. Parking is convenient and close by, and though it was free during our visit, it's advisable to bring cash just in case. While the facilities could be cleaner and better maintained, there is a lifeguard on duty and some basic amenities such as showers and bathrooms available.

The beach has crystal clear water, stunning scenery, and ample picnic areas. It's perfect for families, with a nature trail to explore and plenty of shaded spots under the trees. Plus, the on-site parking makes it easy to access. And let's not forget the golden sand that adds to its charm.
