User reviews
"Behold, a charming and petite beach that boasts of nothing but the most exquisite blue waters that you have ever laid your eyes upon. The only catch is that it is rather diminutive and there are hardly any sandy shores to sprawl on. Nevertheless, it's a spot that is worth checking out, especially if you're in the mood for a brief escapade."
Ryan Andersson
"The beach is a cozy spot that tends to get crowded on weekends. The surrounding area has a few beverage establishments. The scenery is stunning and charming. The water is crystal clear and inviting. Although some areas may have rocky terrain, there is also an abundance of sandy spots to enjoy."
