10 Exceptional

For a serene and rejuvenating dip in the ocean with your loved ones, this beach is the perfect spot. I highly suggest indulging in a refreshing swim here, as the beach is stunning and devoid of excessive coral. It's an idyllic location to unwind and spend quality time with those closest to you. The sunset view is particularly breathtaking and not to be missed. I wholeheartedly recommend this beach and give it a five-star rating.

The beach is a great spot to relax and unwind, with its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Coral Bay. One of the best things about this beach is that it's open to the public for free, making it a great option for anyone looking for a low-cost day out.
