The beach offers stunning scenery and breathtaking views. Its pristine sands and refreshing breeze make for a truly invigorating experience. What's more, it's fascinating to note that the train station is unstaffed. Even if you're not particularly fond of aquatic activities, taking a detour to this beach is definitely worthwhile.

The beach features a stunning view and delightful climate! It's wise to pack sunscreen to avoid any unwanted sunburn. However, public transportation options are limited, and you may need to hail a taxi to reach the train station.

I absolutely adore the view of the beach and mountains, especially with the paragliders soaring overhead. It's such a lovely sight to behold. Additionally, if you're into surfing, this is definitely the place to be.
