"Great place for learning the traditional culture of fisherman. They use wooden boat or fiberglass one to go for fishing with a net. This beach is also the starting departure to Green Bay with a boat. A spcious car park and safe to leave while you are on board. Some food shops, toilets, and muslim prayer room is avalable here."
