User reviews
"Back in 1983, we had an amazing time at the beach. I can still vividly recall the vibrant fishing boats with their massive sails, some of which were parked on the shore. The sand was a beautiful mix of colors, and the sand art in bottles was a sight to behold. Plus, the locals were incredibly hospitable and welcoming."
Nils Rolfsen
"It's definitely worth the journey, but to fully experience the beaches and sights, it's recommended to rent a buggy with a driver. While the scenery is perfect for capturing photos, it's not ideal for swimming."
