  • This was the most interesting beaches I've been to. It may look like sand, but it's actually little bits of shells. Your feet may hurt, so definitely bring flip flops to this one. Don't let the shells steer you away - they are actually beautiful. This beach is popular among locals. #LifeAtExpedia
