The beach was absolutely flawless! It was an idyllic setting with crystal-clear waters and soft, powdery sand. The scenery was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The gusty crosswind at this beach generates undulating waves that sway from side to side, providing a unique and somewhat bothersome experience. However, overall, this is a serene and tranquil beach to spend your day at. Jun'22 has seen the emergence of a handful of restaurants along the coastline, which may be a recent development, as per other reviews that had noted the absence of eateries just a few months ago.

This seaside hamlet boasts a handful of quaint cafes and eateries, though nothing that will blow your flip-flops off.

The beach offers an idyllic scenery that is simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters glisten in the sun, while the soft sand invites you to take a leisurely stroll. The fresh sea breeze carries the scent of salt and seaweed, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore creates a soothing melody. And if you're a seafood lover, you'll be delighted to know that the local fishermen bring in the freshest catch of the day, which is expertly prepared by the nearby restaurants. All in all, this beach is a paradise for anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating escape.
