“Paradise” Beach, white sands, palm trees, islands on the horizon… it is also very quiet and peaceful (in March, surely depends on the season) If you come in the late morning you will witness the fishermen bringing in their boats and nets. You may need to fend off the very proactive salesmen with their coconuts and other local items who will follow you along the beach.

It's a beautiful beach, with calm surroundings. I couldn't give it full five stars as the food was disappointing.

One of the most beautiful beaches you will see. It is generally clean. You can find hotels/resorts with catering services.
