User reviews
"The beach is pretty cool, however, it lacks ample space for those who prefer to lounge freely. Additionally, there is only one shower available for the entire beach, which may pose an inconvenience to some visitors. Nevertheless, the water is simply delightful and makes for a refreshing dip on a hot day."
Larisa Novak.
"Although the beach was teeming with people and the water was quite shallow, I found the fine sand and breathtaking scenery to be quite pleasing."
