QUALITY OF BEACH:
Excellent stretch of golden sand in a well-protected bay with picture-perfect calm, tranquil and turquoise waters.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
A beach filled with hotels, restaurants and a constant stream of hassling hawkers all vying to sell you shells, local handicraft, coconuts or boat trips to nearby Pigeon Point - a beach of bustling business and not for the recently relaxed.
