The beach is absolutely stunning, but the only issue is the security, which is a bit questionable. It's best to avoid going beyond the wall.

6 Pleasant

The beach location is really nice and private. We have the freedom to make our own food arrangements without any restrictions. However, the only issue is that security is a bit of a concern.

The road conditions are poor due to excessive sand, making it difficult to access the beach. It would greatly enhance our experience if some stones were added to improve accessibility.
