4 Frustrating

The enclosed area of the beach is not the most welcoming with knee-thigh deep water, but it suffices for a comfortable sitting experience and is suitable for children. However, the overall state of the beach is quite disappointing with a run-down appearance, dirty surroundings, and graffiti-covered railings and stairs. It seems that only locals frequent this area. Nonetheless, one can still enjoy a pleasant swim beyond the concrete barrier where the water is deeper, but don't expect to see much in terms of snorkeling except for some rocks.

Although located close to a bustling thoroughfare, the beach may not be the most picturesque; however, the snorkeling opportunities are truly exceptional. Additionally, there is a secluded stretch of sandy shoreline that is perfectly suited for little ones to splash around in the warmer waters.

This petite shoreline boasts a serene atmosphere with limited crowds, yet its terrain is composed primarily of rugged rocks.

4 Frustrating

The beach is in need of some cleaning and the parking lot could use some attention as well. Unfortunately, it seems that some individuals have left their trash behind, making the area look unsightly. However, despite these small setbacks, the beach still has a lot to offer. If you stay in the area, there are plenty of activities to enjoy and sights to see. So don't let a little bit of mess deter you from experiencing all that this beautiful beach has to offer!

Nice beach with ample space for everyone to enjoy. It is shallow enough for children to play safely and the sunbeds are available for those who prefer to relax in comfort. This is a perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun while listening to the waves lapping at the shore.
