Beautiful!... I didn't find many tourists on the beach. Beware of some animals that might approach your things, such as monkeys, while you are bathing in the sea. See also reviews of the park of the same name.View original

Beautiful beach, ocean is very rough however and may not be suitable for kids and there’s a huge rip tide. There’s a turtle sanctuary on the beach too which we donated too after watching one being released into the wild. Beautiful moment. Loved this beach!

A beautiful beach with lovely sand and amazing waves. I spent many hours in the warm water body surfing. No riptides either despite what some were saying.
