User reviews
"This location is great for those who live nearby. It has light sand with pebbles, making it a nice little stony beach. There is also a kid's playground for children between 1 and 10 years old, making it perfect for families with young kids. All in all, it's a small beach, but it packs a great punch."
Kestutis Zaremba
"This town is truly horrible. The smell of urine lingers in the air and there are cockroaches scurrying around. It's not just the locals who visit here, there are a lot of Eastern European tourists, which isn't a bad thing in itself as I'm Eastern European myself. However, the town is a miserable place to be. On top of that, there's a sewage problem."
