The fantastic view of this beach, with black stones sparkling in the sun and the amazing beach, is a sight to behold. Fishes tend to hide out around rocks and there are plenty of rocks for them to hide out at.

Not far from this beach there is a seafood stall where you can indulge yourself in local cooking. The most recommended dish there is the grilled fish, known as Ikan Bakar.

If you are not up for beach activities, sitting down in the food stalls and sipping a tea to lay back and relax is certainly an ideal option to hang out by the beach.
