"Currently, the beach is stunning with a minimal amount of seaweed present. Although the sand isn't spotless, it is still delightfully soft. You'll come across some rocks and shells both on the shore and in the water, but it's still a secure place to be. The absence of large waves is particularly crucial if you have children. Additionally, there is nearly no litter to be found."

"The beach is consistently clean and pleasantly cool, with sand that maintains a comfortable temperature. Unlike other beaches in sunny destinations, the sand won't scorch your feet. It's worth noting that the sand has a distinctive composition, which you can look up for yourself - it's quite fascinating."
