In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"I enjoyed leisurely strolls with my furry companion along the serene promenade. While descending the slipway, I indulged in some delectable refreshments from a quaint shop. The atmosphere was pleasant and convivial, with most pet owners conscientiously keeping their dogs on a leash and tidying up after them."

Landon Maddin

"This beach is a sight for sore eyes, with its pristine sands and immaculate waters. It's a cakewalk to get here, so no need to break a sweat. Plus, a lifeguard is always on standby to save you from drowning in your own misery. The ocean was a little temperamental yesterday, but at least it provided some entertainment with the whales' grand entrance."
