What a disappointment! This place should be a paradise of sea breezes and tranquillity, but instead it's a dump. Rubbish strewn around, shanty towns, loose dogs doing their business everywhere and the unhygienic caravan camps make this place a no-go for tourists. Where is the government's coastal protection when you need it?

A tranquil beach to take a dip on those warm and sunny days. The town also boasts some wonderful eateries and outdoor seating areas.

A great spot to take a leisurely stroll and get away from the hustle and bustle of touristy spots. The houses here are built with stones, giving the area a unique touch and making it an interesting place to explore.

This spot was far from stunning. The scenery was dull and uninspiring, and it was nothing special to look at. The atmosphere was not particularly inviting either, with a lack of vibrancy and energy. All in all, it was a forgettable experience.

That place is a delightful spot to spend a day. The scenery is breathtaking and the atmosphere is peaceful. The sand is soft and inviting, and the water is crystal-clear. Whether you are looking to relax or have some fun, this beach is the perfect place to do it. Highly recommended!
