I spent a week at the campsite just before the small town and was blown away by the endless stretch of beautiful beach. The sunsets were breathtaking and the waves were perfect for surfing. If you're a beach lover and can handle some bad weather, I highly recommend checking it out. I absolutely loved it!

This beach is great for surfing as the waves are quite strong. However, the sand has a lot of pebbles, which can make it quite challenging when the waves hit you. There are a few restaurants, a public toilet, and a parking area nearby. Additionally, they have an open shower which is quite convenient for getting rid of sand.

The beach was incredibly long, possibly around 10 kilometers with massive waves and a strong lateral current that required caution. During our visit, it was overcast and windy, which made it less populated.
