Apart from enjoying the nuance of the beach, tourists should try local seafood which is both delicious and healthy. For example, there is the local crab, which is the signature dish of that area. This is why, at some time, local fishermen are seen on the beach preparing to go to the sea to catch such commodity. The next famous seafood is called Windu Shrimp!
