The sea 🌊 is very clean and the water is clear, shallow and suitable for everyone, the waves are not too big. If you go to the beach, you can leave your clothes and shower right next to it. Bathing fee 10k/pax and parking fee 10k/pax.

There is no beach for relaxation. Just standing by the water is possible, but spending time is not.
