User reviews
"The beach is a stunning location that my family and I frequently visit. Whenever the climate is favorable, it feels as though we have been transported to an alternate universe. It is truly a paradise on earth and we always have a delightful time here.
My 3-year-old daughter adores the beach and has an absolute blast spending time here with her mother and me."
Kadon Steel
"It's a fantastic spot to bring your children, but it's best to arrive early during peak season. The bathrooms are conveniently located and surprisingly well-maintained. However, the presence of intoxicated individuals walking and shouting on the beach, sometimes spilling their drinks on others, was a bit unsettling. It's also a prime location for fishing."
