The beach is clean but unfortunately, it is quite deserted with no kiosks or street vendors around. It's a good spot for swimming, but be cautious as I had my sunglasses stolen while taking a shower. There were only three people on the beach during my visit, so keep that in mind.

The beach has beautiful sand, but it could use some improvements in terms of facilities. While there is a paid toilet and shower available, they tend to get crowded and there is a lack of additional bathrooms. It would be great to see more structure and amenities added to enhance the overall experience for visitors. With some improvements, this beach could be even better for everyone to enjoy.
