User reviews
"The beach was indeed beautiful, but my experience was not as pleasant as I had hoped. Despite it being a Tuesday in October, the beach was still quite busy, leaving little room for solitude and relaxation. The clear sea was a small consolation, but the water was not as warm as I had expected, making it a less-than-perfect day out."
Zofia Kowalska
"The beach is a delightful place to spend your day, with a designated swim area that is closely monitored by vigilant lifeguards. Access is limited to weekdays only, but there are no additional fees for sunbeds or umbrellas. The showers offer an invigorating blast of icy water, and the menu boasts an impressive selection of food and drink. There is a pleasant absence of music..."
