Reflecting on that day brings a smile to my face 😂 I had the pleasure of exploring this destination with my cousins, while our brother took the wheel... We relied on Google maps to guide us, and after an hour of driving, we finally arrived at our destination, which should have only taken us 30 minutes 😅 The route was fairly straightforward with a few twists and turns, but we managed to get a bit lost before a kind stranger came to our rescue and directed us to the right place. This spot truly captivated me, given my deep appreciation for nature 🏞️🍃 The ocean breeze, the sandy shore, and the mesmerizing waves all drew me in 😌 One thing that stood out to me was the sand, which had a subtle violet hue 💜 I couldn't quite figure out why, but it intrigued me~ We observed some children swimming in a shallow area of the sea, while other parts were deeper than expected, so it's important to be cautious and avoid any slips into the water... Overall, it's a serene, tranquil, and stunning destination to explore with loved ones!🍃 However, I wouldn't recommend it to those who prefer bustling places, as it's not always heavily populated 😁

We have the opportunity to observe coral and jellyfish beneath the surface of the water. The cost is 300 for a single one. Great bang for your buck!
