This beach is incredibly peaceful with minimal crowds, making it perfect for a relaxing day. Although the water has a bit of algae, it doesn't pose a significant issue. The highlight of the beach is undoubtedly the breathtaking sunset views.

We really enjoyed this beach. The water is wide and crystal clear, and there's a convenient large parking lot in front of the Kcurro restaurant. While there aren't any beach bars or lifeguard posts, we think it's definitely worth spending at least one day here.

This beach is peaceful and stunning, with no bars or lifeguards on duty. However, it's a great spot to bring your furry friends and the water is crystal clear.
