2.Meragang Beach
The beach is quite famous among the locals, although the nature in the coastal zone is almost wild, from the outside it seems absolutely untouched. At the same time, the clean sandy territory of Meragang Beach, light clouds and a little breeze turn a beach holiday into a fairy tale. Amazingly beautiful sunsets, a quiet, secluded vacation and a large number of turtles (there is also a center for their breeding) annually attract a lot of tourists to the beach.
