User reviews
"Arguably the most exquisite beach in the vicinity, this idyllic stretch of sand boasts crystal-clear waters and ample natural shade. The only downside, particularly if you have little ones in tow and are laden with gear, is the distance from the parking area, which can be a bit of a trek on scorching summer days."
