User reviews
"This serene location is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. beautiful and the scenery breathtaking. To reach this hidden gem, you have to meander your way through nature. It used to be a gay beach, but now it is open to everyone. The only downside is that the shore is covered in tiny rocks, making it difficult to relax or walk without discomfort."
