6 Pleasant

The beach appears pleasant, but upon reaching it, one may notice a scarcity of trash receptacles. Additionally, while two beach showers are available, they are situated on sand rather than a solid surface, resulting in sandy and dirty feet after use. However, it should be noted that the beach is easily accessible.

10 Exceptional

The Olympic region boasts of a stunning beach that is a sight to behold. The beach is adorned with soft sand that is wide and offers natural shade. The water is crystal clear and has an abundance of reefs that add to the beauty of the beach. The convenience of showers, changing cabins, and rescue houses at every turn make it an ideal spot for beachgoers. The availability of ample parking space with shade is an added advantage. To cater to your hunger pangs, there are a few taverns and a shop nearby. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the beauty of nature.
