Beach
The village itself is only a couple of hundred metres from the wide beach,
north of the shore temple, where local fishers pull in their boats. The local
toilet is also here and a walk along the beach is an exercise in sidestepping
the turds, South of the shore temple or 500 m or so north, it becomes cleaner.
