The beach is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend checking out Nigel's Beach Bar. While snorkeling, we did encounter some slight stinging sensations, possibly from small jellyfish or coral spores, but it wasn't anything major - just a bit bothersome. Additionally, the beach boasts beautiful golden fine sand.

This beach boasts stunning golden sand that is fine to the touch. It's a peaceful spot with two beach bar restaurants and ample parking. The southern end of the bay offers decent snorkeling opportunities.

This secluded beach is truly off the beaten track, requiring a scenic 10-minute drive along rustic dirt roads to reach its pristine shores. It's definitely worth the journey, though, as the beach offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. Plus, the bartender was an absolute standout, mixing up some truly exceptional drinks that perfectly complemented the serene surroundings.
