User reviews
"The beach is truly lovely and immaculate, with pristine sands and clear waters. However, it's important to be mindful of the commercial aspects of the area, as there are paid options for umbrellas and chairs. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for refreshments and dining nearby, including a conveniently located Starbucks and a range of excellent restaurants."
