User reviews
"The beach is small and peaceful, although it is not well-maintained. However, it is a relief that it is still accessible to the public for free and has not been taken over by private entities or left to become a wild shore. Additionally, the cove is stunning and there are plenty of opportunities to explore the nearby cliff and surrounding areas."
Faeleran
"This cozy beach may be petite in size, but it boasts stunningly clear waters and a seabed teeming with rocks. While there are only a handful of umbrellas available, this intimate spot is perfect for a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of larger beaches. For the best experience, consider visiting during the cooler hours of the day, equipped with a pair of rubber shoe..."
