User reviews
"It is the most secluded and beautiful beach in la testa, but it is quite small, suitable for a maximum of 10 people. However, due to its convenient location as the first accessible beach along the bumpy path, and with a very spacious parking lot, everyone tends to stop and stay there before continuing further if other cars are already present."
Lorenzo Delgado
"The beach is truly wonderful, with its peaceful and secluded atmosphere. It is not very crowded, mainly because the way to get there is quite challenging, especially for small vehicles. However, we were able to reach it in about 20 minutes using a Touran. Despite the difficulties, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves almost alone on the beach."
