The beach is clean and well-maintained, and it's great that it's open to the public for free.

The beach offers free public entry, but it falls short in terms of quality.

The beach is clean with soft sand and scattered stones and tamarisks. It's not too crowded and conveniently located near a tavern that serves food. Additionally, it's worth noting that this beach has free public access and limited parking options.
