"We all like to go for a swim 🏊♂️, when we are at Eden at Cocora Beach, it's a hidden gem 💎 a beautiful beach ⛱️ and a very quiet 🤫 place 😀.
I love that you can bring your dog 🐕 on a lead, take the dog for a walk, or a swim 🏊♂️.
But for me, I love to watch the fishing boats 🚢 going out to the sea 🌊 to get fresh fish 🐟. From Eden wharfs that you can see from the beach ⛱️.
Cocora Beach has electricity BBQ and playground and also there is a rest room."

"A hidden gem is what comes to mind. Beautiful beach, safe for kids with BBQ facilities and restrooms. There is even a kids play area. Clean sand with sparkling clean water. Not crowded maybe due to being Christmas day. Dogs are welcome. There is a rock formation at one side of the beach. Also a trail which is called Bundian Way. Worth the visit."
