User reviews
"This beach is an amazing place, especially for dog owners. Although it lacks extensive facilities, it is a natural paradise. There is a friendly man who offers lunch and evening entertainment on weekends. Don't be discouraged by the rough road leading to the beach; it is easily drivable with your car."

If you fancy a swim, the option is readily available, and there is also a small restaurant/bar and restroom facilities, providing everything necessary for a few hours of leisurely enjoyment."
