User reviews

"Although located close to a bustling thoroughfare, the beach may not be the most picturesque; however, the snorkeling opportunities are truly exceptional. Additionally, there is a secluded stretch of sandy shoreline that is perfectly suited for little ones to splash around in the warmer waters."

Sarai Larken

"Nice beach with ample space for everyone to enjoy. It is shallow enough for children to play safely and the sunbeds are available for those who prefer to relax in comfort. This is a perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun while listening to the waves lapping at the shore."
