The beach is incredibly lovely and private, with hardly any tourists in sight. Although there are no other amenities available apart from the toilet, it's an excellent spot for snorkeling and enjoying the tranquility. With a bit of exploration, you can discover a plethora of stunning shells and other natural treasures. If you plan on swimming or snorkeling, be sure to bring water shoes to avoid any discomfort.

Although the beach is quite rough, those who are willing to exert some effort will be pleasantly surprised as the diving wall is only 50 yards away from the beach.

The expansive beach is a sight to behold, with its natural beauty left untouched by any man-made services. The road that runs alongside the shore is ruggedly charming, made of fossilized coral. A handful of secluded nooks offer respite from the sun's rays. Let's all do our part in maintaining the cleanliness of this stunning locale.
