User reviews

"May 2023 - This beach is absolutely stunning. There has been minimal seaweed problem this year, allowing for long walks along the beach."

L Anderson

"Oh my God, the beach is absolutely stunning! It truly embodies the essence of beauty. I absolutely adored my time there; the water is incredibly clear and the surroundings are so picturesque. If you venture out deeper into the water, you can even swim alongside the fish. Moreover, there's a bar conveniently located nearby, and sometimes in the early morning around 12 o'clock..."
