I am curious if anyone has any information regarding the recent sale of land on this particular beach. It's a stunning location that boasts crystal clear waters and soft, powdery sand. The gentle waves provide a soothing soundtrack as you relax under the warm sun. I would love to know more about any potential developments in the area, as it would be a shame to see this natural paradise disturbed.

One side of the beach boasts a stunning viewpoint, while the other leads to the charming town of Choyudo. Here, you will find a variety of shops and palapas selling fresh fish and seafood. For those seeking adventure, there are pangas available for rent to explore the serene waters. The beach offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing you to breathe in the pure, clean air and unwind. It is the perfect destination for a rejuvenating weekend getaway, and I absolutely adore it.
