"Relax and unwind at this beach paradise. Enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or just lie back and bask in the sun on the sandy shore. Take a stroll down the picturesque, lengthy beach and find some shade beneath the swaying palm trees. There's no need to do anything else - just soak up the peaceful atmosphere and let your worries drift away."
Lukasz Pawlak
"This beach near Costa Calma is absolutely stunning. It's quite windy, making it a popular spot for skilled wind-surfers and kite-surfers. The beach itself is spacious and stretches out for a long distance, providing a wonderful view of all the wind-surfers in action. It's a truly pleasant place to visit, especially if you enjoy taking leisurely walks along the shore."
