Plastic bottles are the most commonly found debris item on the beach. 98.4% of people will visit again due to the cleanliness of the beach. 44% of people will visit again if additional fees for beach cleaning were imposed on tourists while entering the beach. 88.9% of people claimed that they didn't litter on the beach. Cigarette butts and fishing gears will be directly discarded to the beach by few people. 75% of people believed that the best way of mitigating the problem was by fining.
