User reviews
"It's enjoyable to unwind and watch the boats at the beach. However, when we got there, it was low tide and the children were having a great time in the water. It was a good first-time experience, although I must mention that the parking fee is quite costly. We only stayed for two hours. There is a nearby restaurant, but reservations need to be made 15 days in advance."
Eva Belle Lark
"The beach is lovely, with a few benches where you can grab a bite or simply savor the beautiful surroundings. There are also some shaded areas and a delightful restaurant situated right by the shore, making it a truly tranquil and enjoyable experience."
