User reviews
"A tranquil haven, where the soothing sound of the sea's waves breaks the silence, awaits you at this beach. Its pristine shores are adorned with Posidonia, the sea's natural cleaner, creating a beautiful contrast against the sandy backdrop. For those seeking a peaceful vacation filled with relaxation, reading, sunbathing, and swimming, this beach has everything you need."
Lia Santoro
"The beach has a beautiful stretch of fine white sand, giving it a desert-like appearance. The water is crystal clear and the seabed gently slopes. You have the option to enjoy either the free or private beach areas. The only slight issue was the narrow road leading out of the parking lots, but overall, I really enjoyed my time there."
