There are no particularly dangerous living creatures in the sea in this place. The only thing is that in past years there were cases when the hotel administration was forced to close the beach belonging to it for visiting tourists. The reason then was the invasion of sea turtles. These reptiles decided to lay their eggs in the sand right on the beach. And since local turtles are a rare species, the administration and vacationers had to wait for the hatchlings.
