User reviews
"That place is a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The sand is a deep, dark hue that contrasts nicely against the glistening blue of the ocean. The waves are perfect for a relaxing day of swimming and sunbathing. It's the perfect spot to spend a day of peaceful tranquility."
Gianni Leone
"Quite a sight to behold! The volcanic sand is so soft and unlike any other beach in Europe. It's definitely worth a visit, particularly if you have young kids. But be aware, the ocean can be a treacherous place if you can't swim. On the plus side, the waves here are great for surfing. Have a wonderful time and stay safe!"
