"The way to reach here was blocked by motorbike but you can walk rather. This is because it always has landslide events. Hmm, this wonderful natural scenery will make you feel awesome and relaxed. It's really clean and you can see the container vessel depart from Tien Sa port from here. ^^"

"The scenery is beautiful, however I'm not sure if swimming is possible here.
There's a friendly German shepherd, a cat and macaques. Maybe you can consider bringing some food for pets. 😃"

"No easy to reach, a bit kind of adventure. Unfortunately beach is very dirty need definitely clean up. It takes you around 10-15 min to get through the forest from the bike parking till the beach. Attention you need to have a manual scooter to go up there - others are not permitted."
