"I have nothing negative to say about this beach. It truly resembles a paradise on Earth. However, due to its stunning beauty, finding a tranquil spot to relax can be quite challenging. The beach is often bustling with people, but the water remains crystal clear and pristine."
Nikolai Zverev.
"This beach is an absolutely delightful spot to take a dip in the refreshing and crystal-clear waters, teeming with a variety of vibrant fish. It is highly recommended to keep some cash on hand for purchasing chilled beers from the bar, my friends."
