User reviews

"This beach is absolutely stunning, and you can easily drive your vehicle onto it. The sand is golden and fine, making it perfect for sunbathing and building sandcastles. However, the waves can be quite large, so it's important to exercise caution when swimming. Additionally, the weather can change rapidly, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast. In the afternoon,..."
