Nudist beach; a stunning sight. Though I'm not yet ready to go au naturel, I was glad to find that everyone was considerate and courteous, no matter what they were wearing.

That place is an ideal spot to take a break and unwind. It's not too busy, and the water is a beautiful turquoise hue. The scenery is breathtaking and it's truly like a little slice of heaven. Definitely worth the visit!

Definitely worth a visit - if you're into nude sunbathing, that is. It's not just for nudists - you'll find a mix of clothed and unclothed people. No one will judge you, whatever you decide. And there's a cool cliff where you can take a plunge into the crystal-clear water. Perfect for a refreshing dip!
