The locals often refer to this beach as the fourth beach, since the actual fourth beach marked on the map is quite short. However, the villagers don't consider it a proper beach. To avoid any confusion, it is advisable for tourists to inquire about which beach is suitable for camping. The beach itself is truly stunning, with mountain streams cascading into the sea and the sea water flowing back into the streams. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. There is a fisherman's house nearby that provides bathroom facilities and fresh water for bathing. The fisherman also sells coconuts, although he doesn't offer pure water or other beverages. During the evening, you can take a leisurely stroll to catch crabs for cooking. It is recommended to add some fresh water for cooking or washing vegetables and meat, as the well water, although pleasant for bathing, has a slight odor.
