User reviews
"The beach is truly remarkable and pleasantly uncrowded. I had the pleasure of visiting during the chilliest month, which can be quite blustery at times. It's important to exercise caution during these conditions.
Occasionally, some seaweed may wash ashore, which can result in an unpleasant odor. Nevertheless, my visit was thoroughly enjoyable."
Liliana Kaelin

The beach and water were just what we were hoping for - not too crowded and absolutely perfect. It was an amazing day spent with our loved ones!"
