User reviews

"Today, three children were saved from the ocean by bystanders in a near-miss situation. This serves as a reminder that the sea's currents and waves can be perilous. It would be beneficial to have lifebuoys in the area for added safety."

Tobias van den Berg

"A great spot for a dip, though if you don't have aqua shoes, it can be a bit tricky."
