The beach is really pleasant for unwinding, although the sand is a bit coarse and the sea isn't particularly tranquil, but still enjoyable. The lack of large crowds is a definite plus!

The beach is truly one-of-a-kind, as you need to carefully navigate a nearly imperceptible gap during a 15-minute walk to reach it. However, the effort is absolutely worthwhile.

The beach is absolutely stunning. It's quite remarkable that there were no other individuals around on a Friday afternoon in August. The main reason why this gorgeous beach, which is conveniently located near town, remains undeveloped is due to its hazardous nature, making it unsuitable for swimming. To access the beach, simply park your vehicle on the side of the road and take a short 5-minute walk.

The beach is absolutely amazing! It takes around 5 minutes to reach it on foot, but it's truly incredible. Just make sure to bring some food along as there are no nearby dining options.

The beach is absolutely stunning! It's a really lovely beach with a long stretch of sand. There are no stands or palapas around, and I'm not quite sure about the safety or ease of swimming in the water. I wouldn't recommend going into the water alone.
