We have discovered our own personal oasis at this beach. It has become a cherished destination for us, a place where we can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and simply immerse ourselves in the natural beauty that surrounds us. We've claimed it as our own, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a special spot to call ours.

The tour guide informed us that the waves were quite high and we only had the chance to witness waves that were about two feet tall.

This serene beach is a local gem, perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway. During peak vacation season, the crowds can be overwhelming, so arriving early is recommended. However, on a typical weekend, the beach is pleasantly uncrowded. Access to the beach is free, and there are a few hotels available for overnight stays. The atmosphere is ideal for relaxation, and the prices for tables vary depending on the day's traffic. If the beach is packed, prices can be steep, but on quieter days, they are more affordable. You can bring your own food or purchase it on-site, or even mix the two. There are no restrictions on bringing your own music and beer, making this a great spot for a laid-back day by the water. The sea is calm with no high waves, making it perfect for children or those who are not strong swimmers.
