This beach is a great spot to find some peace and quiet, even during peak season. It's only a 10-15 minute walk through a lush forest from the main road, and there are basic facilities available, so you don't need to bring supplies. Plus, you can take a trail to three other beaches nearby. It's not a difficult journey and definitely worth the effort.
