The beach is absolutely stunning with its sand. However, it's a bit unorganized, so it's best to bring your own umbrella and water. Luckily, there are plenty of parking spots available and some restaurants nearby.

The area is stunning, but accessing it by car can be challenging due to the mountainous terrain.

There's something unique about this place that's hard to pinpoint, but it's incredibly relaxing. The water is also very welcoming, if you catch my drift.
