"The beach is truly amazing, featuring a charming bar right on the sandy shore, and a delightful playground for the little ones. Moreover, there is a mesmerizing sunset trail that is an absolute must-see, stay for the sunset and experience a peaceful escape to the realm of relaxation. #escapetotherv"

"If you take a stroll along the beach, you'll discover a charming bicycle path nestled in the woods. The signage is easy to follow, and the journey is serene. While the scenery along the road may not be as breathtaking as the beach, it's still a pleasant and worthwhile experience."
