The beach was quite tranquil and peaceful. Although I didn't swim in the ocean, I still had a great time there. I visited towards the end of the nesting season for leatherback turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't get to witness any of the hatchlings. However, I did spot some of their empty eggshells scattered along the shore. I definitely plan to return when the turtles make their way back to the beach.

It's a pleasant beach, but it can feel a bit isolated. The surrounding area can be intimidating, so I would suggest visiting in a larger group. As the evening approaches, it can become eerie. Despite this, it's still a lovely beach with a tranquil atmosphere.

The beach is stunning, but efforts must be made to safeguard the leatherback turtle eggs.

This beach is definitely worth a visit. The sand is a beautiful golden color, and it adds to the picturesque scenery. It's a great spot to relax and soak up the sun, or take a refreshing swim in the clear blue waters.

This location is a popular spot for sea turtles to come and nest every year from March to August. It's a beautiful sight to see the river joining with the sea water, especially when the golden sand welcomes the river water into the sea. There are also plenty of options for comfortable accommodations, including guest houses and facility rooms.
