During my inaugural visit in 2017, I was immediately smitten with the charming beach. Despite the foggy weather and cool breeze, visitors flocked to this beloved destination. The picturesque landscape was simply breathtaking, and there were plenty of comfortable seating options to take it all in. Plus, the nearby food options were simply divine. All in all, a truly delightful experience.

The beach offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape. However, it is important to exercise caution when entering the water, as the depth may not be clearly defined and could pose a potential hazard to swimmers.

The beach is perfect for a leisurely stroll, but swimming is not recommended due to the deep sea bed and rough tides. The best time to visit is in the morning when the golden sun rises, although I unfortunately visited in the evening. Adjacent to the beach, there is a monument-like structure that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding area. However, it should be noted that there are no railings in the building, so safety precautions should be taken. Additionally, there is a food stall where you can indulge in delicious bittara roti, including the egg variety.

Ideal for admiring the Sunrise. For those who have a passion for photography and time-lapse cinematography, this location is a must-visit. The early hours of the day, when the sun is ascending, offer a breathtaking sight. Witness the magnificent panorama of the horizon as the fishermen venture out on their boats for their daily livelihood during the early hours of the morning.
