Nice beach to indulge in stick-play. It is a haven for driftwoods that always find their way to this shore. The abundance of wood is truly remarkable! And if you are lucky, you may stumble upon some hidden gems nestled in the sand. However, I would caution against visiting during midday when the sun is scorching hot, as the sand can feel like it's burning your feet.
