User reviews
"The stunning beach stretches for 7 kilometers and is a sight to behold. However, it can get quite busy during peak hours. To fully enjoy the beach experience, I suggest taking a leisurely stroll along the shore in the early morning before 9 am or in the late afternoon after 5.30 pm, especially during the Summer month of August."
