The beach didn't seem to captivate my attention. I noticed some coral formations, but unfortunately, most of them were lifeless. It's important to be cautious of the assertive monkeys that roam around fearlessly. On the other hand, the adjacent forest appeared to be more captivating and engaging.

This beach is the top choice on the island! The water is crystal clear and teeming with vibrant marine life. Access to the beach is available via a jungle trail or a taxi boat, and the best part is that it's free for the public to enjoy.
