6 Pleasant

This beach is great for picnics, photography (especially for sunset lovers), walking, and jogging. Unfortunately, the sea is quite rocky and not suitable for swimming, except for a small area near Le Meridien Hotel. It can be a great spot for those who enjoy fishing.

6 Pleasant

The beach is stunning, with its palm trees and white sand. Unfortunately, the abundance of stones and corals makes it difficult to access, and nearly impossible for small children.

8 Very good

This beach has a lot of potential, especially the wetland area, but it's being neglected by the responsible authorities. The state, the Beach Authority, and the local hotels should work together to protect this place before it's too late and it turns into a garbage dump.

This beach is great for spending time with friends and family. The sunset is absolutely stunning from there. I had a wonderful time taking an evening walk along the shore, admiring the beautiful orange sky at dusk. The pleasant breeze only added to the charm of the place.

8 Very good

This beach is stunning, with its large black rocks and white sand patches. There is a sizable pine forest with parking spots, a couple of food stalls, and a restroom. Unfortunately, swimming is not allowed due to the powerful currents and the rocks.
