Oh my God, the beach is absolutely stunning! It truly embodies the essence of beauty. I absolutely adored my time there; the water is incredibly clear and the surroundings are so picturesque. If you venture out deeper into the water, you can even swim alongside the fish. Moreover, there's a bar conveniently located nearby, and sometimes in the early morning around 12 o'clock, they organize volleyball games accompanied by lively music and dancing. It's truly an incredible experience that warms my heart. 💓
