The beach may appear a tad unclean owing to its location near the bustling city, yet it retains an enchanting aura that cannot be denied.

This location is truly stunning, although the ocean can be treacherous. Regrettably, there are no amenities such as tables or lounge chairs in close proximity to the water, causing this beach to feel desolate.

The beach provides a serene and enjoyable atmosphere to spend your time. The stunning view during sunset is truly breathtaking. Although the waves may be a tad forceful, it adds to the excitement of diving in, as long as safety measures are taken to prevent any mishaps.

The beach features a stunning view that is sure to capture your attention. However, if you're not a confident swimmer, it's best to avoid the open sea as it's more suitable for surfing.
