This port has a rather unimpressive beach. It's nothing remarkable, and it's quite small. There's not much to do here other than take a quick stroll along the shore. It's not the most exciting place to spend your day.

The beach had plenty of rocks, which made it difficult to swim. However, we had a great time exploring the rocks and trying to catch crabs and small fish. The water had a pleasant scent that made the experience even more enjoyable.

The beach may be a bit slim, but there are plenty of crabs! The rocks are quite plentiful, so it's best to bring along some swim shoes.
