User reviews
"This locale boasts an array of delectable dining options and lively watering holes, all set against a breathtaking backdrop of pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. The beach itself is a true natural wonder, with its dazzling beauty and serene atmosphere inviting visitors to relax and unwind in the most idyllic of settings."
Jovani Petrovich.
"The beach is undoubtedly lovely, however, the slope leading to the sea is quite steep. Once you've walked about 10 meters into the water, you'll lose touch with the ground. During high tides, the water becomes quite deep, so it's crucial to keep a close eye on your children. Another downside is the absence of restrooms and showers."
