The spot is very underdeveloped. The locals are very nice and friendly. The beach is never crowded. The only portion of land with nice grassy beach, while the rest of the lake has either lots of rocks or useless wind direction. Rainy season goes from May to October, and the lake level rises a lot covering the beach. During the dry season, the level drops and by mid January we can begin using the beach again.
