A nice curvy coastline with still many coconut trees grow between the white sand beach and the cliff. At distance dreamland beach and even airport is still visible on clear day.
Almost a hundred steps down to get to the beach. Two building like huts are at the bottom. They use for fishermen meeting place as well as fishing tool storage. Only few outrigger boats still exist. There is also some sign of seaweed farming in here as we notice some wooden sticks are planted in line under the water.
