User reviews
"It's a pleasant and serene spot, perfect for unwinding and enjoying some tranquility."
Kazim Raza
"A peaceful beach that is perfect for a family outing is worth considering. Despite visiting in August, there were not many individuals around, and although there is a parking fee, it is reasonably priced, particularly for Barcelona residents like us."
