This being my first beach camping experience, I was excited and nervous at the same time. The beach is secluded, clean and serene. The food was yummy authentic local cuisine and the hosts (team Gilehrio) were on their toes always for any request/help. I only wished we could spot some olive riddley turtles during our stay.
