8 Very good

Out of the 7 secluded beaches, this one may not be the finest. However, it has a unique charm with its rugged terrain, scattered with large rocks and seaweed. The natural formations may not be for everyone, but they add to the beach's character and provide a sense of adventure. Don't let the uneven surface deter you, as the crystal-clear waters and stunning views make it worth the visit. Embrace the raw beauty of this beach and discover its hidden treasures.

4 Frustrating

As we sauntered over from Playa Breman, a jaunt of about half an hour, we were greeted with a somewhat arduous route. And once we arrived at the beach, we found ourselves unable to take a dip due to the presence of stones and the unruly waves. This stretch of sand is also referred to as niningo beach, for those who are keeping track.
