User reviews

"The site is quite calm, although it can get a bit windy at times. There is water available and a couple of tall palm trees that offer some shade. The area is spacious and peaceful, and there are even some iguanas around."

Liliane RENAUD

"The beach is easily accessible, but unfortunately it was overrun by algae in mid May 2022. However, it has the potential to be a nice beach otherwise. It's worth noting that there are no restaurants or bars in the area."
