This delightful shoreline boasts a serene atmosphere and breathtaking views. Unfortunately, there is a barricaded entrance that unlawfully restricts visitors from enjoying the beach to its fullest potential.

10 Exceptional

The ocean at this beach is absolutely flawless, with water so clear you can see straight to the bottom. The path leading to the beach is paved until a certain point, and then becomes a manageable dirt road. It's important to bring along plenty of water and snacks, as well as a sturdy umbrella for shade. Unfortunately, there are only two tamarind trees available for shade, so it's best to come prepared.

This beach is truly remarkable. Its pristine beauty is unmatched, with a combination of soft sand and small pebbles that create a stunning landscape. While reaching this beach by car or bicycle can be challenging in certain areas, the journey is worth it for the solitude and tranquility that await. This is the perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful swim in the crystal-clear waters.
