The water in August can be quite chilly, and there are plenty of jellyfish in the sea. A sunbed will cost you 8 EUR, and it's best to book in advance. The sand is of decent quality and the beach is easy to access, making it a great spot for a beach day.

That place is a great spot to relax and unwind! The sand is soft and inviting, and the water is so refreshing. The scenery is beautiful and it's a great place to soak up some sunshine. There's plenty to do here, from swimming to sunbathing. All in all, it's a great place to spend a day.

The beach has a lot to offer - the sea is quite high and there is little room, but the great thing is that it is very easy to access!

This spot is nothing special. It's certainly not worth the time to visit. It may be alright for a quick stroll, but it's nothing to write home about.

The beach has great sand quality, and if you're looking for a spot to walk out without any stones, there are areas that are completely free of them. Plus, the sand here is gray in color, making it an even more attractive spot to visit.
