User reviews
"The beach may be close to the train station, but it's far from ideal. It's not exactly brimming with tourists, but there are still enough around to make it feel a bit crowded. On top of that, the beach is far from clean, and you're likely to spot a few homeless people too. All in all, it's not the best beach around."
Liamo Lo
"Situated close to Port and is very tranquil and pristine. Unfortunately, the locals do not recommend swimming here."
