The beach was a delightful sight with its soft sand and serene atmosphere. We were fortunate enough to have it almost entirely to ourselves. Although there were toilet facilities, there were no options to purchase refreshments or snacks. It's advisable to bring your own. In comparison to other beaches in the vicinity, it was relatively clean.

A hidden, peaceful beach, far from the crowds and noise. The absence of any facilities is noticeable, only some dilapidated huts that might have once been shops, now abandoned and eerie, yet intriguing. We were greeted by a chorus of friendly and talkative kittens, who almost convinced us to take them home with us! If you plan to drive here, be cautious of the dirt road on the right-hand side as you exit the beach, as it can be too muddy, wet and sandy to navigate. A local warned us about it. Additionally, keep an eye out for macaques, as one of these large monkeys suddenly appeared behind our bike as we were leaving, probably hoping for some food.

During our visit at low tide, we were delighted to witness the mesmerizing sea creatures in action. The beach was teeming with crabs and starfish, which made the experience even more exciting. We also had the opportunity to venture far out into the sea, thanks to the low tide. It was truly a unique and unforgettable experience.

This beach, although undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing, is hardly a hidden gem. You may find yourself lucky enough to have it to yourself, but don't count on it. And if you do happen to be graced with solitude, don't get too comfortable - the local felines will make sure to remind you of their presence. So, if you're looking for a beach with a bit more authenticity and a bit less forced charm, you might want to keep moving.

The beach is a serene paradise, especially in the morning, where one can bask in the tranquility of the surroundings without any disturbance. There are two beverage and snack kiosks, as well as a restaurant for those who wish to indulge in some culinary delights. The tourists usually arrive via boat during the lunch hour, adding to the liveliness of the beach. However, during low tide, one must tread through a 150m stretch of mud before reaching the water.
