The beach is characterized by its long coastline, swaying palm trees, and a gentle sea breeze, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. Historically, Majorda is significant for being the place where Jesuit priests discovered how to make 'toddy' from palm sap, which they then used for baking bread.

Visitors can indulge in various water sports such as jet-skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides.
