User reviews
"If you're in a rush and don't have the luxury of planning an extensive getaway, this beach located just a stone's throw away from the city is a fantastic option. I highly recommend visiting it as it boasts some truly stunning scenery. However, it's worth noting that the water can be a tad chilly, so be prepared for that."
Javier Mendez
"The beach is absolutely stunning! We had the privilege of witnessing the sunrise and had the beach to ourselves for a good two hours. Additionally, the sand on the beach is a lovely shade of brown and it's very fine."
