My favourite corner in Slatine for swimming and enjoying the sea. Shower available!
Great beach and bars. Food great. Bar down the beach of house music going all day (Sunday). Good clear water for swimming.
Nice and quit nature beach with pepples and rocks. The water is clear and there is a small pier where you can jump from. The only minus was the amount of litter on the beach. We collected a bucket full of plastic waste.
