This is a beautiful clean beach with clear and warm water. Large turtles swim near the shore. There is a small cafe with changing areas and a toilet.

We visited here as part of an excursion; arrived and left on a boat.
The beach is protected as the turtles use it to bury their eggs. To mark the area used by them, there is a series of poles indicating the highest point they go, and rope showing the part closer to the sea.
Within this area, you are not allowed to sunbathe, place beds or dig holes as this might disturb any nests, or catch unwary hatchlings.
However, you can bathe on the foreshore section between the rope and the sea, and there are a small number of sunbeds which you have to pay for to use.
The sand is actually small gravelly types stones with very small pebbles in it. The sea doesn't really move much with the tide, and there is a bit of a drop acrelatively short space from the shore.
There is a basic cafe (no alcohol) and some wooden walkways that lead from the toilets and changing rooms. The cafe has a small amount of tables and seating.
I went back to the boat we arrived on, and some people were throwing small pieces of crab meat into the water. This was mostly eaten by small fish that were in a large shoal.
However, at one point, a single turtle emerged from the water briefly, before diving down under the boat; it was quite magical to see.

Travelled by taxi boat, it was private to us as we had 17 people in our group. It takes around 30 mins to reach the beach. Spent the whole day there. The amazing beach is not over crowded as it's October but the temp is around 30 and the water was not cold at all.
Food wise theres some chips, drinks etc available we had some crepes which some people enjoyed I didn't particularly like them as they were too greasy.

Beautiful location. With lovely turtles splashing about the boat moorings. The sand here is nice the restaurant is very limited and to be honest id bring your own food and drink .
There are rules here because of the nesting turtles. But unfortunately people dont seem to pay much attention and there isn't any enforcement least not that i could see. I feel the whole bathing on the same beach that the turtles are laying eggs on a bit peculiar but hey just my thoughts .
A really beautiful place though and very picturesque.
