User reviews
"I absolutely loved this beach! The scenery and water are breathtaking. The water is teeming with life, including some pretty big fish that are easily visible while snorkeling in the natural pool. Additionally, there's a small Imbiss that serves different lunch options and I highly recommend it - they even speak English!"

"Although it boasts natural beauty, there isn't much to enjoy when the weather is cold, rainy, and windy."
