The good thing about this beach is that it’s spacious,has a toilet,a tap with water to wash your feet and in general it’s quite clean.The bad thing is a small parking lot and something in the water that bites you…(might be jellyfish or some other species).

Lovely beach. Seemed quiet enough both times we were there. Be careful, if going into the water as there seems to be lots of jellyfish.
