We were delighted to find that the reviews we had read on Google were accurate. The beach was beautiful and the restaurant had an excellent atmosphere. The service and views were great, and the seafood was incredibly fresh and simply cooked. Prices were also very reasonable. It was quiet when we visited on Black Friday in November, but we'd recommend booking in advance for the summer months. Plus, the beach is easily accessible.
