Our kids learned how to surf here — amazing people, great vibes, and the best local experience. Dad enjoyed an ice-cold and affordable beer while watching them surf. Friendly locals, fresh coconuts, soft drinks, and unbeatable prices — the perfect beach spot for families and surfers alike. Highly recommended — go check it out!

Still, it’s a nice spot for a quiet stroll and relaxation away from the busier beaches.
