By sheer luck and local recommendation, we stumbled upon a hidden gem of a beach. The cuisine was exceptional, particularly the well-curated seafood appetizer. However, the real star of the meal was the sea bass, freshly caught by the restaurant's own fishermen. It had been years since I had tasted such a pure and authentic flavor of the sea. The location was equally impressive, with a stunning Via Marina and a charming outdoor setting. I highly recommend this spot to any seafood lover or beach enthusiast.

Although the prefectural commissioners impose various taxes that make life difficult for people, the beach and the sea remain a source of delight. The country may be facing uncertain times, but the beauty of the beach is a respite from the chaos.
