  • Beautiful beach for families. Very relaxing and plenty of great restaurants, juice stalls and fast foods nearby. We’d go there in the evenings to watch the sunset and have dinner before heading to...

  • A very nice beach to spend a calm day with your family. Foods are easily available at affordable prices.

  • An incredible beach especially for those who love Snorkeling. There’s a variety of coral fish and if you’re lucky, you can even spot some turtles. The public beach amenities are decent and there’s adequate parking and snack joints Sadly, some parts of the beach are littered and hope people would take better care of the place
  • Fantastic public beach. Completely clear and calm sea with beautiful colours. Very well protected from the wind and waves. There is even one rock in the swimming part (close to the boundary, along the middle) which attracts beautiful fish. There is enough shade and all the facilities are in place - toilets, food kiosks and ample parking. We did visit on weekday shoulder season though.
  • Beautiful location, worth taking a boat trip out for some snorkelling and to the island then relaxing on the beach for some swimming. Come early and make a day of it.
  • Beautiful beach, definitely lots of families, close to restaurants and lodging, I'd recommend going from 11 am-3 pm when the sun is up and it's warmer outside because the water was cold. You can snorkel outside the beach area too all over but be aware of the mild waves and current. Sandbar seems on the smaller size for the crowd, considering it's just the winter season here. However, people were respectful and the kids were funny to watch playing.
  • Amazing place for a family gate away and picnic. Greats views, clean and crystal water. An amazing spot for snorkeling as well.
