- Long, walkable shoreline and sunset promenade — The beach stretches for nearly 2 km, so you can actually go for a proper stroll instead of being boxed into a tiny sunbathing patch. Mornings are for runners and quiet tide pools; evenings pull in a mix of backpackers and locals for classic sunset people-watching with cheap snacks handy along the road.
- Snorkeling at the rocky headlands — Small rocky points at the north and south ends hold pockets of coral and fish just a short swim from shore, so you don’t need a boat to see life underwater. It’s especially great for quick, low-cost snorkel sessions—bring your own mask to save money and spot schools of curious reef fish.
- Paddleboarding and kayak runs to hidden coves — Rentals are cheap and you can paddle into little bays and mangrove inlets

- Paddleboarding and kayak runs to hidden coves — Rentals are cheap and you can paddle into little bays and mangrove inlets that are otherwise hard to reach on foot. It’s relaxed, scenic, and perfect for sneaking away from the busier central sands for an hour or two.
- Beachfront seafood grills and casual sand-side dining — Local vendors grill the day’s catch on the sand; think plates of whole fish and skewers eaten with bare feet in the sand. It’s a seriously budget-friendly way to eat fresh seafood while watching the sea—no pretense, just good food and sunset views.
- Laid-back evening atmosphere: live music, street food and fire shows — Nightlife here isn’t high-glam clubbing; it’s acoustic bands, impromptu fire performances on the sand, and stalls selling late-night fried snacks. If you want low-key nights where you can chat, drink cheap cocktails, and still be on the beach, this is the vibe.
