The sunsets at this beach are absolutely breathtaking. However, it tends to get crowded so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot.

I visited a beach with brown sand and would like to share my experience. The beach was quite secluded, and I had to take an off-road path to reach it. I arrived in the middle of the afternoon and enjoyed the warm sun and the sound of the waves. Overall, it was a peaceful and serene experience.
