Come early morning for peace
The beach is very quiet and peaceful before 7am, ideal for jogging, cycling, or watching sunrise.
Avoid late afternoon and evening
Packed minibuses with loud music arrive later in the day, and theft becomes more common after dark.
Water quality varies by location
The right side of the beach where people sit is cleaner than the left side, and occasional sewage.
