This exquisite beach is simply divine. I am enamored with every aspect of it. During the winter months from December to April, the number of visitors is minimal, allowing you to bask in the serene ambiance and unwind. You can stretch out and luxuriate in the tranquil surroundings, indulge in a captivating book, or take a refreshing dip in the ocean. The experience is sheer bliss.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking. The sand stretches on for miles and is so soft and powdery, it feels like walking on a cloud. If you're looking for a place to relax and soak up the sun, there are plenty of palapas and loungers available for rent. The water can be a bit choppy at times, but it's still refreshing and enjoyable. And don't forget to indulge in the mouth-watering donuts sold right on the beach - they're simply divine!
