User reviews
"The beach offers complimentary sun amenities, but in case they are occupied, it is advisable to bring your own. The entrance to the beach is a bit rocky, which adds a touch of humor to the experience. The water is quite clear, giving you a glimpse of the aquatic life, including fishes."
Zara Nix
"The beach area is absolutely lovely and best of all, it's free of charge. However, it's important to note that there are only a limited number of tents available, so it's advisable to bring your own. Additionally, exercise caution when entering the water as the rocky entrance to the sea can be treacherous. It's recommended to wear water shoes to ensure your safety."
