User reviews
"What a delightful beach! The abundance of sand makes it effortless to locate a peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle, where you can unwind without any disturbance from noisy children or other distractions. The waterway that runs alongside the beach is an ideal spot for kids to play and for those seeking a warmer swim, as it is considerably warmer than the ocean."
Nico Santoro.
"The beach is a lovely small stretch of sand nestled between two cliffs. It offers ample parking and a bar that serves coffee, beer, and snacks for those who need a bite to eat. I spotted a few surfers catching waves, and there was a coast guard service available. Overall, it's a great spot to spend a day at the beach."
