Since recent decades, our public coasts have been reduced in size due to development of infrastructures such as hotels, bungalows, etc. However, we still have the amazing beaches left for people to enjoy. Always protect nature while going to the beach. Do not litter and report those who are doing it to the police of environment. Our beaches are the main ingredients to boost our tourism sector. Thus, leave footprints of love on the sands and not your plastic bottles or any garbages.
