The bay looks lovely from the hill but the really is the beach is almost non-existent, the sea has lots of algae and looks very dead, the seabed is rocky and slimy and the only decent pier requires one to pay to enter and the Ada beach resort looks run down. The place is generally run down and filled with litter. Coming from Cape Town where the beaches are all free, generally pristine, the sea is alive with life, and the sand is white and runs into the sea, this place is a 1/5.
