"This beach was an absolute delight! It was simply perfect, with towering cliffs on either side. The rental service provided cozy lounge chairs and umbrellas for a comfortable experience. The sand was silky soft, and the water was tranquil, making it a truly picturesque beach. Overall, it was a magnificent and stunning beach that left me in awe."

"If you happen to be in the area, this charming little beach is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant on site is a convenient option, but be sure to bring some cash as they don't accept cards. The scenery is simply stunning and there's even a walking trail to explore. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test it out myself as I was wearing sliders."
