This beach is the bee's knees! The sea is as calm as a monk in meditation, and there are both bustling and serene spots to choose from. The water is a mesmerizing shade of green, and the temperature is just right for a refreshing dip. The waves are so small that even the little ones can enjoy them without fear. Although, watch out for seaweed during certain times of the year - but it's only a few measly centimeters, so no biggie. Overall, this place is a total gem.
