Unfortunately, the beach was inaccessible due to the presence of sargassum, but we managed to spend a brief moment there. Additionally, the aftermath of a hurricane left the beach in a state of disarray. It is my sincerest wish that this stunning location will be restored to its former glory in the near future.
