It is turning to north but from part of the beach and especially from Mushroom beach bungalows bar and restaurant there is a great sunset view. In front of 50% of the beach, there is a reef where the boats are not allowed to enter. Unfortunately, the reef, that is going all the way into the sandy beach is dead. No life and no fishes. You may swim over the reef but with nothing to see and not very comfortable or recommendable to put your feet on the reef then you don’t swim here. On the other half of the beach, there are boats all over the place so there it is also not a pleasure to take a bath. No pier exists so all boats go all the way into the beach.
