During our cruise stop, we ventured out from the port and stumbled upon this hidden gem of a beach. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere with no crowds. We couldn't resist taking countless photos of the stunning island scenery. The locals were friendly and welcoming. The downtown area was small and simple, more like a bus stop, so don't expect any fancy amenities or bustling crowds. The weather was fantastic, and the crystal-clear water felt like our own private swimming pool. We're already planning our next visit!
