User reviews
"The crystal clear waters and breathtaking sunset at this beach are truly a sight to behold. However, if you find yourself without a car as the sun begins to set, it may prove challenging to leave the town behind. Nonetheless, the beauty of the beach is worth the effort to stay a little longer and soak in the serene atmosphere."
Mara Hill
"This beach is quite the spot! The sand is pristine and the water is refreshing. It's a great place to soak up some sun and enjoy the salty sea breeze. You won't be disappointed with this choice for a day in the sun."
