The beach faces Hiri Island, visible across a narrow strait, with forested hills behind. The area includes a small jetty, fishing boats, gazebos and food stalls. Visitors can swim near shore, snorkel over coral, hire a small boat to Saomadaha Cove or Hiri Island, and enjoy coastal scenery and sunset views.
