Allow me to share with you my experience of the beach, starting with the not-so-great aspects. Unfortunately, a portion of the shoreline is littered with trash, which detracted from the overall cleanliness of the beach. Additionally, the only available facilities are the parking lot and the staircase leading down to the sand. While there is a bathroom near the parking area, it appears to be neglected, and the staircase is missing a few steps at the end, requiring a detour to reach the beach. But let me tell you about the hidden gem of this beach. If you venture to the far right of the beach from the staircase (even crossing a small part of the beach through the waves), you'll find yourself in a tropical paradise. This secluded corner of the beach is spotless, and you can find a dry spot on the rocks to bask in the sun. During the three hours we spent there, we didn't encounter another soul, making it an incredible and unforgettable experience.

I had the pleasure of visiting a beach that could easily be mistaken for a painting. It was so pure and untouched, I wondered if anyone had ever set foot on it before. The government has taken it upon themselves to maintain this hidden gem, so it's always spotless. I highly recommend taking a trip to this paradise during your stay. And don't forget to check out the natural wonder of the mini waterfall that cascades into the beach. Trust me, you won't miss it.

The beauty of this beach is beyond words, as the pictures themselves convey the essence of its charm. It is a truly magnificent place that captivates the heart and soul of every visitor. The breathtaking scenery, crystal-clear waters, and soft sandy beaches are a true testament to the wonders of nature. It's a place where you can relax, unwind and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. In short, this beach is a paradise on earth that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.

Currently, the beach is experiencing an abundance of seaweed, leaving little to no sand visible. The smell is quite unpleasant, and I would advise against visiting at the moment. The current state of the beach brings back memories of the beaches in Northern California. However, despite the unpleasant conditions, a friendly family who resides there kindly escorted us down the stairs, and I felt compelled to show my gratitude with a tip.
