User reviews

"The beach is absolutely stunning, with its off-white sandy shores and vibrant green waters. It is conveniently situated close to the city center, making it easily accessible. However, if you prefer tranquil, waveless waters, this may not be the ideal spot for you. On the bright side, there are numerous food carts in the vicinity offering a wide array of mouthwatering options."
