User reviews

"The beach was an absolute beauty, adorned with an abundance of palm trees that provided ample shade. The waves were quite big during our visit on December 25th, and the current was quite strong. Unfortunately, the facilities were closed, and there was no food available except for non-alcoholic beverages."

"This is my preferred beach - it's exceptionally clean, not overly crowded, and boasts stunning scenery."
