"The Hidden Mini Beach is a true gem, offering a secluded spot where you can bask in the sun and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. With a bit of luck, you might even have the entire 50-meter stretch all to yourself, making for an unforgettable beach experience."

"This beach is absolutely breathtaking! It's a hidden gem that we were lucky enough to have almost entirely to ourselves for a good portion of the day. The sand is incredibly soft and the water is easy to enter. Although parking is located at the top, the descent down the steps is a breeze. There are even showers available on the beach and a restroom at the top. Just be sure ..."
