"Really nice - the sand is a bit stiff but it's a great spot. Plus, it's easy to access, so it's a great secret spot to escape to! Keep it on the down-low though - not a word!😁😁😁😁"
Pauline McAllister
"The sea is an inviting aquamarine, perfect for exploring the depths with snorkeling. The water is so clear that you can see for miles. It's an ideal spot for a day of swimming and snorkeling."
