The beach was indeed a sight to behold, but unfortunately, the beauty was marred by the overwhelming crowd of tourists. The sand was littered with trash, and the water was murky and polluted. The noise from the nearby hotels and restaurants was unbearable, making it impossible to relax and enjoy the supposed tranquility of the beach. Overall, the experience was far from spectacular.

This stunning beach boasts a serene atmosphere and picturesque vistas of Ram Island and Gardiner's Bay. However, be forewarned that the fluke swimming in the shallows can be quite feisty! 😂
