User reviews

"This beach is truly stunning, with its fine sand and sand dunes. It's a fantastic destination for everyone, especially children. The beach stretches for kilometers, providing ample space for everyone to enjoy. You'll find convenient amenities such as parking, a café, ice cream, and toilets (although they could be cleaner). I highly recommend visiting on sunny days."

Lara Ivanova

"I enjoy taking my dogs to this beach. One thing I appreciate is the abundance of dunes and various entry points, allowing for a peaceful stroll even during busy times. The beach is well-maintained and kept clean, and it's a bonus to have a lifeguard on duty during the summer. Additionally, the beach stretches out quite far, making it perfect for a leisurely walk or a refresh..."
