This beach is definitely one of my favorites. You are able to rent snorkel gear or scuba gear and go swimming with the fish (in which they usually give you a complimentary dog bone to feed the fish once you rent gear). This beach also has many restaurants aligned along the lower end of the beach. You can also rent beach chairs, umbrellas, etc.
This beach is also next door to Coral World, our local aquarium.

I volunteered at this horse ranch during the beginning of Covid due to lack of support from community, and these horses are so lovable.
Book an excursion with this company, and you can ride the horse in the beach waters. Very exhilarating! I believe the fee is 100/pp for 1.5-2hrs.
