The beach is quite peaceful and enjoyable. However, the restroom requires a small fee of RM0.5 for toilet use and RM1 for a shower. Additionally, there are water sports available such as boat sailing. Keep in mind that beach chairs are available for rent and not free. The uncle mentioned that if you plan on taking pictures, do so quickly or rent the equipment. Upstairs, there is a restaurant that serves delicious meals at reasonable prices. There is also a small resort nearby, although it's unclear if it's on the same road. Be cautious of jellyfish in the open sea when swimming, as it's at your own risk. The parking area is public, so it's technically free. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The beach is really clean and has a great view. It's possible to swim here, but be aware that it's at your own risk. There are clean toilets available for use and a parking area along the road. I would definitely come back again. My suggestion is that if you check into a hotel around 2PM, you can grab breakfast to-go and come here to enjoy it! ❤️❤️❤️
