User reviews
"This beach is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for a leisurely stroll or constructing some impressive sand structures. Unfortunately, it's currently closed to the public due to green algae, which is a real shame as it's a clear example of how human pollution can have a negative impact on our environment."
Larissa Jones
"This beach is just as magnificent as the others in the region, and it's incredibly peaceful."
