User reviews
"Looking for a serene and tranquil spot to unwind? This beach is definitely worth a visit. However, it's important to note that the beach is quite rugged and not equipped with any amenities such as cabins or toilets. Despite this, it's an ideal location to soak up the sun, take a refreshing dip in the water, and simply bask in the beauty of nature."
Lirin Atoz
"The beach is sparsely populated, with only a handful of people accompanied by their furry friends. Upon hearing the initial signal, everyone springs into action, hastily gathering their towels and sandals. The area surrounding the beach is often used by the military for training purposes, giving it a distinct air of seriousness rather than leisure."
