Sadly, the taxi driver took us here saying it was Cable Beach....anyway this Beach is Public run by locals, they don't even care to purchase a garbage container and collect the garbage from the beach....they only see this as a business. Bunch of banana boats, jets ski, even water cars....which is very dangerous since there's swimmers around, there's obviously a barrier but when they go really high speed they can easily loose control . Anyway I WARNED you, dont go here. Sad how they can not even take care of their own land.
