User reviews
"As we ventured to the beach, we were greeted with a breathtaking sight. The vast expanse of sand and sea lay before us, almost deserted save for a few scattered individuals. The waves were a bit rough, dissuading most from taking a dip, but the area adjacent to the houses offered a serene and ideal spot for relaxation."
Jamal Nouri
"The beach is absolutely stunning. It's a cozy cove with crystal clear water, sun loungers for rent, cafes, and restroom facilities. It's never too crowded, and you can take a pleasant stroll along the cliffs to catch a breathtaking sunset. Although water sports are offered, it's still a peaceful beach."
