The picturesque scenery of the beach is truly captivating, with its tranquil and refreshing atmosphere that is sure to soothe your mind and soul. The cool breeze that gently caresses your skin is a welcome respite from the scorching heat of the sun. The beach is relatively empty, which provides a sense of privacy and seclusion, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Overall, it's a great place to unwind and relax.

The beach, known as Cup Beach, owes its name to the numerous rocks that are scattered along the shoreline. These rocks are unique in shape, with a roundness that resembles an upside-down bowl. Over time, locals have shared a story about the beach's name. It is said that merchant ships carrying bowls and pottery once sank near the island, and the bowls were washed ashore on this beach. As a result, the beach became known as bowl yard. The stones are large and peculiar, making for a fascinating sight that is sure to leave a lasting impression on visitors.
