User reviews

"This beach is absolutely fantastic! The sand is so fine and there are no pesky rocks to worry about. I was surprised to find that it was practically deserted on a Wednesday afternoon, despite its vast size and stunning beauty. Plus, it's a great spot for dog lovers to bring their furry friends along for a fun day out."

Sylvie Renard.

"The stunning beach is a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist destinations. Unlike other beaches, it is not overrun with people, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the surroundings. The pristine sands and crystal-clear waters are immaculately maintained, offering a clean and refreshing experience for all who visit."
