However, it's a great area to relax, tan, and read a book. The beach features modest huts that may be rented for a reasonable price if you want a shady location for your picnic. On the opposite side of the island, you can see the Calintaan Cave which you may also go exploring.

It is home to a variety of marine wildlife such as sea turtles, octopuses, lobsters, and oysters.
