User reviews
"The beach is absolutely lovely with soft sandy shores. It's surprising that even in December, the water is almost warm enough for a refreshing dip."
Jaxon Karnes
"While the scenery is pleasant, the beach on this particular eolian island is not as pristine as others. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand on the beach is brown in color."
