4 Frustrating

Arriving at around 4pm, we were delighted to spot two turtles near the shore. The stroll from the parking lot to the beach took approximately 10 minutes, but it was a manageable and primarily level walk. Unfortunately, the water appeared murky, making it less than ideal for snorkelling. While there were some shaded areas, we were disappointed to find that they were also home to numerous red ants, detracting from the overall experience.

This charming beach is a hidden gem that offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. The only drawback is that the water is not crystal clear, which may not be ideal for snorkeling enthusiasts. However, if you are looking to catch a glimpse of sea turtles, this beach is teeming with them.

This beach is truly remarkable, as it offers a wonderful opportunity to spot numerous turtles with ease. The sand is a bit rough, but it adds to the charm of the place. However, it's worth mentioning that the tree behind the beach can be a hub for ants, so it's advisable to steer clear of it while setting up your beach blanket, if possible.

Although there is a brief stroll required, the destination is absolutely worth it. The facilities are quite convenient, with well-maintained restrooms that are both hygienic and odor-free. As we gazed out at the ocean, we were delighted to spot no fewer than fifteen turtles swimming near the shore, and a few more resting on the sand - these creatures were truly massive!

The beach is situated within the National Park, which is a great starting point. During our visit, we were fortunate enough to witness several sea turtles foraging near the shore. When my wife approached the water, she was taken aback and exclaimed with excitement, Quick, grab the camera! Although there is an area designated for swimming, it was quite crowded with fishermen during our stay. Nonetheless, the beach offers a magnificent view and is an excellent spot to gain insight into the indigenous culture.
