Ladies! This is for us. Zenska Plaza or Ladies Beach is like a spa healing center. The beach strictly prohibits men, including small boys. As it is an all-female beach, don’t be surprised to see naked women. On this beach, a lot of health benefits can be provided for women. Soaking in sulfur water baths may help with a number of health conditions. It is also good for sensitive skin, hair and nails, against acne, and bacteria. The smell is, however, strong, because of the high level of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the water supply. But the benefits it brings are undoubtedly one of the main reasons why you should go here.
