This beautiful beach, surrounded by a lush forest, is located in a charming and authentic fishing village. It's a peaceful and serene place to visit, and the best part is that it's free and open to the public.

This beach is absolutely amazing and the best part is that it's open to the public for free! Although it may take some effort to get there, it's definitely worth it. You can either take a 5-hour hike or a 1 hour and 30 minute ride in a 4x4 off-road vehicle. But trust me, the stunning views and crystal-clear waters make it all worth the trip.
