The coastal boulevard appears to be rather narrow, which makes it inconvenient to navigate through by car. Additionally, there seems to be a limited selection of quality eateries in the vicinity.

The beach is a vast expanse of sandy shores, adorned with lush green flora that offers a respite from the sun's scorching heat. It is effortlessly accessible, and the presence of only a handful of bars ensures a tranquil and serene environment.

The picturesque beach presents an ideal backdrop for capturing stunning photographs. However, the water's turbulence renders it unsuitable for swimming. My time here was well-spent in filming, snapping pictures, and gathering exquisite stones.
