The snorkeling experience at this beach surpassed my expectations with multiple sunken shops to discover. However, I must admit that the beach itself was quite disappointing. The amount of trash scattered everywhere was disheartening, and the constant harassment from vendors was a nuisance. The swarms of house flies hovering around didn't make the situation any better. Even in the water, there was an alarming amount of trash until I swam out further. Despite these setbacks, I would still recommend this beach for snorkeling enthusiasts. However, I wouldn't recommend it for a relaxing beach day.
This beach would be absolutely stunning if people took the time to clean up after themselves and properly dispose of their garbage. Alternatively, we could hope for a hurricane to come and refresh the area. 🙄
The gate attendant was adamant about not providing day passes, even though their website clearly states that they do.
The beach is exclusively for military personnel, individuals associated with dictators, and those who sympathize with the regime.
