User reviews
"This beach is an ideal place to spend the day. It offers free parking, a stunning beach, a fantastic playground, and plenty of grassy areas for picnics and kids' activities. There is also a nature reserve nearby. There are plenty of activities to do and porta-loos are available onsite. It is also a great spot to launch kayaks or paddleboards from."

"This beach is relatively uncrowded during the weekdays, making it a great spot for snorkeling. There are plenty of plants and fish to observe, though it's recommended to wear water shoes as there are some broken glasses around. To get there, take either bus #7 or #8 and then take a five-minute walk."
