The beach could benefit from more support from the city hall. The lack of bathing facilities on the new shore makes it difficult to fully enjoy. The south zone has great potential, but unfortunately, it is not well-maintained.

The beach lacks any sort of infrastructure, has minimal signage, and is difficult to access. It may be worth a quick visit, but significant improvements are necessary before it becomes a desirable destination.

This is a lovely spot to spend the day lounging on the grass, taking photos, and having a picnic. It's also a great spot for fishing. Unfortunately, there is some litter around, including plastic wrapped around the trees and rubbish on the shore. Additionally, the stones have been stained with wax from religious events. Despite this, it's definitely worth a visit, although if you plan to stay for the afternoon, I suggest heading a few meters away to an area with cleaner surroundings and stunning stones.
