This beach is a hidden gem and one of the best I've been to. It's a secluded and quiet spot, perfect for a peaceful stroll without the crowds. Camping is allowed, and during turtle season, you can witness the release of these amazing creatures into the sea. The food options are fantastic, with several family-owned restaurants at the entrance. Plus, there are shower facilities to rinse off the sand before leaving. Being a less popular beach, it remains clean and free of litter. Overall, it's an excellent beach that deserves more attention.
