A very beautiful beach with soft sand and amazingly clean teal coloured water which turns a dark blue further out. Family really enjoyed it here. No real beach amenities though.

If you come at sunrise, trust you will be met with an astonishing view ! It’s totally empty at sunrise with fresh air and flat sand dunes ! 10/10

What an amazing beach! Beautiful surroundings with nice flat sand dunes. There's a big rock formation which is great for exploring sea creatures. It will only get better when the marina opens. Highly recommended destination!
