The absence of sand and lack of direct access to the beach may pose a challenge for some visitors, as navigating through the surrounding foliage and rocky terrain is necessary to reach the shore.

The beach is simply stunning, with its pristine sand and crystal-clear water. It's a true natural wonder that never ceases to amaze visitors. The breathtaking scenery and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect place to unwind and relax. There's nothing quite like the feeling of the warm sun on your skin and the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore. It's an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.

Caution is advised when visiting this beach as we unfortunately experienced theft from locals who followed us off the bus. It is a shame that such incidents occur and can put a damper on what could have been an enjoyable day at the beach. It is important to remain vigilant and keep a close eye on belongings to avoid any unfortunate incidents.
