8 Very good

The location is pleasant, although the waves may be a bit forceful for some. The sand is dark in color, which may cause some discomfort as it tends to cling onto your skin. Nevertheless, the overall encounter is quite enjoyable. The cuisine served and the melodies played add to the ambiance, and the beach is not excessively populated.

This beach is a pretty decent spot, I suppose. It's not like it's anything special or worth writing home about, but it's not terrible either. The sand is fine, the water is fine, the sunsets are fine. Basically, everything is just... fine. If you're looking for a place to kill a few hours and get some sun, this beach will do the trick. But if you're expecting something truly remarkable or awe-inspiring, you might want to set your sights a bit higher.
