User reviews
"Situated in a really nice area close to the fortress. Unfortunately, there is not much shade, so you'll need to bring an umbrella. The water was too cold for my liking, so I couldn't go for a swim. Most people just stand in the water but not many people go all the way in. As for parking, there's practically none, apart from a paid lot nearby."
Cody Garcia
"This beach is an ideal spot for families to visit. With easy accessibility, it makes it a great choice for a day out. The sand is soft and inviting, and the shallow waters are perfect for children to safely play in. The views are stunning and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. It's a wonderful place to spend a day of fun and relaxation."
