It's a great spot to unwind and relax in the evening. However, there have been instances of families going into the sea without proper control, leading to drowning cases. It's important for families to take responsibility in such situations. Additionally, there have been occasions where people organize events and leave the area dirty. The municipality's staff doesn't provide warnings or fulfill their duty, as they are often seen idly sitting around with walkie-talkies in hand. On nice weather days, the beach tends to get very crowded, making it difficult to find parking. There is a market, toilet, and mecit nearby. Let's all make an effort to keep the beach clean. Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to those who value cleanliness.

The local government may have done an excellent job, but once you step onto the beach, you'll find yourself immersed in a lively atmosphere with refugees enjoying barbecues and playing games with great enthusiasm.
