User reviews
"That place is an ideal spot for snorkeling and spending quality time with the family. Despite being relatively short, it's a great place to sit and soak up the sun. The parking situation isn't ideal, but the short walk to the beach is worth it. Climb the small rocks for a breathtaking view of the sea and its wildlife! Enjoy your day here."
Gustavo Matos
"An absolute delight! There's a great beach bar and a small play area for the kids. It's especially popular in the evenings when the locals come down with tables and lanterns to keep the beach vibes going all night long. It's an amazing experience!"
