"This beach is really lovely, with crystal-clear water and friendly staff. We visited in June, when it's less crowded, and had an amazing time. The whole place is well-maintained, and the bathrooms are neat and well-managed. Moreover, the bar serves a delightful aperitif with a stunning view of the sea. I highly recommend this beach to everyone!"
