7 Good

The pristine beach is exclusively reserved for the esteemed guests of the resort. However, if you are planning a day trip with your little ones, it can be quite a task to find a secluded spot where you can relish the sun and sand without any interruptions. Despite being a public beach, the authorities are quite strict about maintaining the serenity of the place, but don't let that deter you from exploring the beauty of this natural wonder.
