Beach description
The crescent-shaped shore is covered with fine golden sand. It is ringed from both sides with low rocks, they do not distract from joy of swimming or looking at picturesque scenes. The teal water is so clean that it is possible to watch ocean underwater life without a diving mask during the day. There is no wind, strong waves or underwater current compare to majority of other beaches. It is possible due to the coral reef in the distance. This beach is popular mostly among families with children because of its still waters and the proximity to the road and town. But it is always better to look after them carefully: the slope is quite steep. During peak season it can be crowded, but near the shore, tourists can watch colourful fish, the coral's inhabitants and big sea turtles sometimes coming out to the beach. It is worth remembering, that it is prohibited to touch them: doing so is punished with fine up to $100,000 or even serving time in prison. The main activities except the sunbaths are
- fishing
- surfing
- swimming and diving
- bodybuilding
When is the best time to go?
To lay off on the beaches of the mainland, it is best to come in the summer, when a sufficiently warm temperature is settled for swimming. Places like Florida or the Hawaiian Islands are comfortable all year round.
