This beach is amazing. The sand and beach are fantastic. The only downside is the presence of crocodiles, which can be a deterrent from swimming in areas that are not well-protected.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 4 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
