"The beach is a peaceful and secluded spot with a lack of tourists and a sparse population. The wind may be strong, but the overall atmosphere is tranquil and serene.

"The sandy and serene far corner near the petite church is an idyllic spot to bask in the sun. A refreshing shower is available for your convenience, and shaded parking is also accessible. However, it's advisable to bring an umbrella as there is no natural shade on the beach."
