User reviews

"My overall beach rating is 7 out of 10. The roads leading to it may be narrow with a rating of 5 out of 10, but parking is available at your own risk. It's only 100 meters away from the parking area. The best time to visit is in the evening, and there are no tickets required. However, swimming is prohibited due to a safety level rating of 5 out of 10."
