The residence is neighbored by a tranquil black beach, and it's great that it's not too busy, especially in December when the temperature is usually around 25 degrees - not exactly ideal beach weather for swimming tourists.

This spot is a pleasant and familiar spot with brown sand and a great selection of restaurants nearby.

That place is a local favorite, with its picturesque shell-shaped design and buildings that provide shelter from the wind. The sand is clear and there are plenty of nearby restaurants, cafeterias, and bakeries. It's an unbeatable spot to spend a day at the beach, but be mindful of any potential sea currents.
