Reviews
Nice small beach. Clean and very good water quality. Small bar close to the beach, pricing is pretty high: 10 euros for a cocktail
Great beach with a wonderful view. It’s a slightly alternative view from the beach where you are looking at the coast, as opposed to out to sea. We loved it. Also the parking and the nice cafe by the parking lot is ideal.
A beautiful beach and wave, blue turquoise sea, parking available and nice view to environment.
