User reviews
"This beach may be small, but it is absolutely stunning. The water is crystal clear and there are convenient paths leading to the water, although the sand can get quite hot. Unfortunately, outside food and drinks are not permitted, and the on-site prices are extremely high. If you want to rent two loungers with a parasol, it will cost you €10."
