User reviews
"If you happen to find yourself in the north west of the island, I highly suggest paying a visit to the beautiful, lengthy stone beach. It is truly a sight to behold. There are a plethora of sun beds available for your convenience, but if you prefer to set up your own spot, there is plenty of space to do so. Don't miss out on this gem of a beach."
