User reviews
"This place has clean, gray sand and is a great spot for swimming, although it can get quite choppy at times and the lifeguard is always on duty. You can lie on your towels for free or pay 4 euros for a sunbed for the day. I've been twice and both times there was a red flag due to the strong waves."
Hiram Stankus
"Quite small, with rocky terrain and huge waves. The downside is that it's rather quiet, and the only thing that is really convenient is the supermarket nearby. The lifeguards are there, but it's not really a plus."
