This place was quite the sight! In the morning, the sand was perfectly pristine, courtesy of a sand-leveling tractor that made two appearances a week. However, one of our group had a not-so-pleasant experience - they ran into a jellyfish! Talk about a bummer.

The beach wasn't particularly impressive. It was nothing special and was quite average. The sand was dull and the water was murky. It was far from being a great beach.
