The surge in tourist traffic has led many to risk climbing the breakwater and leave their litter behind, spoiling the beauty of this once-idyllic coastal secret and leaving even local fishermen lamenting the change.

Pink Bird Forest was originally a hidden gem known only to locals, with its azure waters and rugged surrounding rocks creating an otherworldly atmosphere. In recent years, after going viral online, it has attracted numerous visitors, especially during the summer when it becomes overcrowded, altering the once pristine beauty of this beach.
