User reviews

"The beach is really nice and it's convenient to find parking. The water is clean and it's located near vineyards."

Beatrice Weaver

"There is some sand in the water, but only if you know where to go. The water is incredibly clear, and there are vineyards in the background. It feels like being in the Mediterranean, but with freshwater. If you enjoyed my review, please give it a thumbs up!"
