User reviews
"This charming beach appears to be a hidden gem frequented mainly by the locals. The water is crystal clear and pleasantly warm, inviting visitors to take a dip in its refreshing embrace. A quaint food and drink stand, doubling as a restaurant, is available for those seeking a tasty bite or a thirst-quenching beverage."
Zarathustra
"The shoreline is covered in smooth pebbles and the water is so clear, you can see straight to the bottom. A few places to grab a drink or relax on a lounger with an umbrella are available for rent. The location is quite peculiar though, as it's situated in an abandoned pumice quarry, surrounded by factories and conveyor belts."
