User reviews

"This beach is absolutely stunning and secluded from the hustle and bustle of typical tourist destinations. The sandy beaches are expansive and perfect for a leisurely stroll. There are a handful of shops where you can grab some essentials or indulge in a sweet treat like ice cream. I highly recommend checking it out!"
