"This beach is simply amazing to spend a lovely day soaking up the sun! The refreshing drinks and delicious food are available for purchase with the convenience of using your Mastercard or Visa. It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the seaside."
Ren Graf
"During our visit, we found the beach to be serene and peaceful. It is relatively small in size and the water can be quite turbulent due to the rocky terrain that is common along this coast. However, these natural features lend a unique charm to the beach. It is worth noting that the beach may not be accessible for the elderly or disabled due to the challenging access points...."
