The beach offers free entry to the public! However, if you do choose to purchase a ticket, it costs 400 Da for adults and 200 Da for children. The ticket includes access to both the chlorine pool and the sea. Additionally, if you need tables, umbrellas, or chairs, you can rent them for an extra fee. Unfortunately, the sandwiches are not very good. If you're looking for a great swimming pool, you won't find a better one than the one available on July 5th.
