User reviews
"Definitely worth checking out, this beach is absolutely lovely and offers a hassle-free entry into the water. It's not crowded at all, so you can pretty much have it all to yourself. The closest shop is just a 10-minute walk away, and it's a pleasant and easy 30-minute stroll from beau vallon."

"We chose this beach for our post-wedding photoshoot and it turned out to be the perfect location. The beach has a cozy atmosphere and the waves are incredibly pleasant. On one end, there are scattered stones, while on the other end, there are beautiful palm trees. Although parking can be a bit challenging, it is definitely worth visiting this stunning place."
