User reviews

"The beach is quite beautiful, but it is filled with rocks. Perhaps adding some sand would improve it. There is a small bar where you can relax, but unfortunately, there are no umbrellas. The main issue is that the beach is not wheelchair accessible, which poses a problem for elderly individuals."

"The lake and beach are impeccably clean. Additionally, there is a cabin available for changing and a pastry bar conveniently located nearby."
