"This place is amazing! The golden sand and clear, clean water are perfect for a holiday. The sun is shining, and the sand is hot. It's easy to get to, with a car park, restaurant, beach shower, and a train station nearby. There are also flats for rent close to the beach. I loved it!"

"What a wonderful experience taking a stroll along the shoreline! There are plenty of restaurants to grab a bite to eat while you're there, and the harbour is just a stone's throw away. On top of that, the beach is blessed with golden sand and there are plenty of activities and games for the kids to play with. It's a perfect day out for the whole family!"
