This beach is the perfect alternative if you want to be away from the noise and just enjoy the warm waters of the ocean. The only ¨but¨ is that the food is not very cheap. Highly recommended.

The best way to reach the beach in walking. You have to do it early in the morning though as the tide will cover the walking part. It takes about an hour to reach it, but on the way you see beautiful sceneries and you can even get a mudbath experience. We went there after our late night - morning... More

It is very hard to try and find something to dislike about this place... Excellent seafood, ice cold beers, beautiful beach and lots of sun... what's there to complain about?!! Nothing
