"Beautiful beach, not many people. Snorkeling is good, not many corals, but different fish swim. Lots of parrot fish.
The beach is beautiful and not crowded, which is a big plus. The water is clear, and snorkeling is a great way to see what's underwater. While there aren't a lot of corals, you'll see many different kinds of fish swimming around, especially many parrot fish. They are very colorful and easy to spot."

"Great beach for snorkeling. There is a free parking, toilets and a hose to rince after swimming. There are not many visitors so there are wide spaces to lay your beach towel on.
Unfortunately, you cannot fly a drone there as it's quite close to the airport."
