User reviews
"The beach offers a lovely view of the sunrise, but regrettably, it is quite dirty with a significant amount of trash scattered around. To make matters worse, my son got stung by a fishing hook attached to a string that was left behind in the sand. It is a suitable spot for adults to go camping in peaceful weather, but if it's windy, it's best to avoid visiting."
Zoran Petrović
"This beach is a great spot to start snorkeling towards Soopy Island. There is ample space for free parking, especially in January. The temperature is around 27C, with the water at 25.5C. You'll find an abundance of fish and sea turtles right from the beginning as you snorkel along the wave breaker and around the island."
