In the beginning of June, the beach was pleasantly uncrowded, which created a serene and laid-back atmosphere. Taking a leisurely stroll along the shore was a delightful experience, with the gentle waves lapping at the sand. The ambiance was tranquil and soothing, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax.
