"This beach is really great. It offers both sandy and rocky areas for visitors to enjoy. Personally, I find it to be the best beach around."

Lena Kessler.

"The beach offers a lovely expanse of soft sand and is surrounded by numerous dining options and activities. However, it's worth noting that the water temperature can still be chilly in April, making swimming a less appealing option for some visitors."
