User reviews
"This beach is truly stunning and deserves a five-star rating. However, the weekends can be a bit overwhelming with an influx of visitors who may not appreciate the peace and serenity that others seek for relaxation. It's a shame that the tranquility can be disrupted, but overall, the beauty of the beach still shines through."
Lena Jansen van der Meer
"Although the beach has crystal-clear waters and stunning scenery, it's a shame that there are no umbrellas to provide some much-needed shade. Despite the natural beauty, the lack of basic amenities can make for an uncomfortable experience under the scorching sun."
