User reviews
"Fine sand and clear blue waters. However, seaweeds can be seen in the afternoon, making the mornings a better time to enjoy the beach's clear waters. The water is warm and even with the winds, it's still hot and refreshing, especially on hot days. Overall, it's a great place to relax and enjoy the sun, sand, and sea."

"The beach is absolutely stunning with its white sand that feels incredibly fine to the touch."
