The beach has a stunning viewpoint that offers a panoramic view of the entire beach, including the pier and large ships. Additionally, the sand is brown, which adds to the unique experience. However, the beach is not very well-maintained, as both the locals and authorities have neglected it. Despite this, I suggest visiting in the afternoon and checking out the restaurant by the viewpoint entrance, which offers delicious food at affordable prices and a spectacular view of the sea and beach.

The beach is stunning with its brown sand, but it's important to consider which area to visit due to the intense heat and crowdedness during the day.

The vista from the beach lookout is absolutely stunning. The breathtaking scenery is a feast for the eyes, with the sparkling blue ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see. The tranquil sound of the waves crashing against the shore is a soothing melody that fills the air. It's the perfect spot to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature and reflect on the wonders of the world.

This beach is absolutely stunning! It's the perfect spot for a weekend getaway and the fried fish is absolutely delicious. There are plenty of shops nearby with a variety of seafood dishes, as well as sweet treats like traditional minutes and artisanal sorbets. Plus, the brown sand adds a unique touch to the already gorgeous scenery.
