The waves are really nice, so make sure to wear beach shoes due to the rocky terrain.

The beach is a stunning little spot with delicious food and a great atmosphere. The music and friendly people make it even more enjoyable. I absolutely adore it.

If only they could improve the beach by removing the rocks and adding more sand, maybe even creating a sandbar for swimming. The sea is quite powerful here, so I wouldn't recommend swimming as it is. I'm almost certain I spotted a whale 🐋 during my visit.

The beach is really nice, but it's important to be cautious about the strong currents and waves. It may not be the best choice for beginner swimmers.

The beach was pleasant and generally tidy. However, there were a lot of rocks, which made it a bit challenging to walk on. I was disappointed to come across discarded fish carcasses on the ground, and it would be better if people disposed of them in a compost or another appropriate place. I also noticed some plastic pollution, which was disheartening. On the bright side, the coconuts available for purchase were delicious, although I wish they had been chilled. Additionally, the boats lined up along the shoreline added a charming touch to the scenery.
