User reviews
"The beach is a picturesque gem nestled between rocks, with convenient accessibility. An abundance of shells, including some rare St. Jacques varieties, can be found scattered about. A small stream gently flows into the sea, adding to the charm of the location. While there are a few restaurants nearby, the most noteworthy one in Etables may not be budget-friendly."

"This beach is easily accessible and perfect for swimming in the sea while enjoying the beautiful coastal views, especially during high tide."
