User reviews
"The beach is quite expansive, with some areas that are well-maintained and plenty of space for those who bring their own equipment. The water is incredibly clear, but it gets deep quickly. It's also a good idea to wear shoes as the stones can be difficult to walk on. If you're in the vicinity, it's worth a visit, but it's not worth driving 30km as we did."
Mateusz Kowalski
"This beach is gorgeous and there are plenty of places to get snacks and drinks. The tide never seemed to recede, which was really nice. I'd recommend wearing beach shoes as the sand can be a bit harsh on your feet when entering the ocean."
