It's just an ordinary beach in the city, nothing extraordinary.

I typically prefer quieter beaches with more natural surroundings, but if you're staying in the city and don't want to drive, this beach is perfect. The cost for a sun bed and umbrella is 7 euros, and the manager is friendly and speaks English. If you're feeling hungry, you can easily find something to eat just behind the beach. Additionally, there is a nice music shower and access to water.
