Perfect spot to bask under the sun. The water is crystal clear, allowing you to see the bottom even from afar. Even if you're 50 meters away from the shore, the water is still only 1 meter deep, making it ideal for swimming. There is a large free parking area available for your convenience. If you have your own kayak or boat, you can enjoy kayaking or boating. You can also have a barbecue on the beach using your own food. However, please note that there are no bars or restaurants on the beach.
