User reviews
"The shore is a serene haven perfect for young ones since there are no tumultuous waves to worry about. However, the absence of restroom amenities is a downside. The beach is owned by a hotel on the other side of the road, which prohibits non-guests from using their facilities, leaving the beachgoers with no choice but to seek nearby restaurants for their restroom needs."
Larisa Jovanovic
"The beach is a stunning sight to behold with crystal clear waters that are tinted in a mesmerizing shade of blue. The overall ambiance of the beach is simply lovely, and it is the perfect place to unwind and relax with your loved ones."
