During our visit to the beach, we were approached by a local on a motorbike who enthusiastically shared with us that the surrounding waters were teeming with fish. He even urged us to explore further, but we were unfortunately unable to due to another area being off-limits. We later learned that this particular spot was claimed by some territorial individuals who believed they owned the entire sea. Despite these minor setbacks, we still enjoyed the beautiful scenery and tranquil atmosphere of the beach.

The spot has black sand with pebbles, but it lacks a road, any services, and trees. I would not recommend visiting this place.
