User reviews
"This charming spot is an ideal destination for a leisurely Sunday afternoon. It's a serene and peaceful place, with only a handful of visitors most of the time. Once in a while, you might come across a group of campers with their tents pitched on the cozy beach, but that's perfectly fine."
