User reviews
"The beach was clean and pleasant. However, during our visit, the waves were quite strong and close to the shore, which made it difficult for children to play safely. We made sure to stay within the designated blue flag areas to avoid any potential danger from the current."
Ethan Donovan
"The beach has vast stretches of sand and the waves are quite large. It is also very clean and has plenty of space."
