User reviews
"Far from satisfactory. It is not particularly clean, and the toilet facilities are substandard. Not an ideal spot to spend a day."
Elizabeth Smith
"The beach could have been tidier and there were no signs warning about the sudden drop-offs in the sea, which didn't bother me, but it could be dangerous for those who aren't strong swimmers."
