User reviews

"Although not ideal for swimming, the beach provides a lovely space to relax and soak up the sun while lounging on the sandy shores. However, it's worth noting that the sand can be quite rough, and children may end up with minor scrapes and cuts. Despite this, it's a great spot to spend time with friends and family, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and gentle waves."

Kai Reynolds

"The beach is perfect for families with young children. It has a lovely stretch of golden sand, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for kids to play and build sandcastles. Overall, it's a great spot for a day out at the beach with the family."
