User reviews
"The beach is quite lovely and it's worth noting that it's open to the public for free. However, on the day we visited, we unfortunately couldn't go for a swim because there were too many jellyfish in the water."

"This beach is absolutely stunning and the best part is that it's free for the public to access. The only downside is that the water can be a bit murky at times."
