This beach is truly a sight to behold, with its serene and picturesque surroundings. Accessing this natural wonder requires a sturdy 4x4 vehicle, and it's important to note that there are no vendors or shops in the area, so it's wise to bring all necessary supplies with you. Despite the presence of four-wheelers and motorcycles, the beach remains undisturbed and peaceful, allowing you to fully enjoy your day. It's important to remember to leave no trace and take all trash with you. The gentle currents make it an ideal location for families with children. The journey to the beach itself is a breathtaking experience, and the trip is well worth it. Additionally, it's worth noting that this location may also double as a camping area.

The beach is truly captivating and a must-visit destination. However, it is advisable to have a vehicle with high ground clearance for a smooth ride. The breathtaking scenery and serene atmosphere make it an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The beach is a serene and peaceful spot, perfect for those seeking tranquility. However, the drive to the water can be quite an adventure, akin to off-roading. This adds an element of excitement and enjoyment to the experience. The only downside is the abundance of seaweed, which can be a bit of a nuisance.
