For those seeking an exclusive and secluded beach experience, this is the perfect spot. The beach strip is lined with only two rows of houses, resulting in minimal crowds even on weekends. The high tide offers excellent opportunities for surfing and bodyboarding, while the low tide is peaceful and shallow, extending quite far out. Indulge in the ultimate luxury and contemporary living at EastSky Villa for an unforgettable stay.

This beach is like a golden oasis in a sea of commercialized rockiness. It's secluded and clean, with no pesky vendors or crowds to ruin your vibe. The water is warm and the waves are just the right amount of manageable. You'll feel like you've stumbled upon your own private paradise, with mostly private ranchos dotting the beach. Safety is no concern here, so you can let your guard down and soak up the sun. And let's not forget about the sunrise and sunset views - they're absolutely breathtaking. Trust us, you won't want to leave this hidden gem.
