The beach wasn't the best, but other beaches in the area are much better maintained.

8 Very good

This beach is a cozy, romantic spot with a sandy shoreline. The water is very clean, but it can get a bit noisy with families and their children around. I'd recommend visiting during the week, as it can get quite crowded during summer holidays. All in all, I'd give it four stars.
