  A great place for a day out. The people a very nice the water is calm and it's great for paddling or swimming. People of all age groups can have fun here. And if you need refreshments there's a mobile ice cream stall right on the beach. Glass-bottom boats, scuba diving services can be hired from the main road about 20m away.
