User reviews
"The beach is truly stunning, boasting breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. However, it's important to note that the powerful waves make it unsuitable for children. Additionally, if you're looking to sunbathe in the nude, you'll be in good company as many others also choose to do so."
Michael R.
"The beach is definitely worth the trek to get there. The sand is incredibly soft, and the swimming is fantastic. It's a very private spot, so you can enjoy a peaceful day in nature. Just be aware that some visitors may choose to sunbathe in the nude."
