Such a wonderful time we had on this beach !🏖️ surprisedly the beach had no litter(or less than the usual amount you would find on a beach ) , the environment felt safe and comfortable. However some part are really muddy , so I would advise to bring boots or anything stable to wear . Any ways, overall the beach was beautiful, well cleaned and I would recommend to come for a day out

Very nice beach for walking and enjoying the views. The iron statues are worth seeing. Wind can be strong and swimming is not ideal, but overall a great experience.”

Clean, peaceful and fresh sunrise walk. The beach was clean and not to busy. Highly recommend coming on a morning without rain.
