Hopefully the village head will read... How come there are so many fees there??????? When you first enter you are asked for 10 thousand by the grandfathers on the first portal, then at the post you will be asked for another 10 thousand, then you will be asked for another 10 thousand for motorbike parking. Wow, 30 thousand to get in there for 1 motorbike. Where the road is badly damaged again

Beach with nice views. There are huts on the beach and small kiosks selling snacks. Recommendations for family recreation, picnics 👍 There are not enough public facilities (toilets), and sometimes there are illegal fees for entry tickets. As far as I know, entrance tickets are 10k/group and parking is 10k. But, what I experienced was that the entry ticket was collected twice.
