4 Frustrating

The service at this beach is excellent, with very friendly staff. However, there are no restaurants available, so visitors need to bring their own food. Unfortunately, the beach is marred by a significant amount of garbage, which detracts from its natural beauty. It is my hope that the people in the vicinity recognize the negative impact this has on the beach.

6 Pleasant

The beach is really nice, but there's a constant flow of cars passing by, which could lead to accidents. Additionally, everything is quite expensive, even more so compared to more popular tourist beaches. On the bright side, there's plenty of fishing in the area, and you can get fish at very affordable prices. Another great thing is that it's not overcrowded, allowing you to truly enjoy the beach.

The beach is quite beautiful, although it could use some cleaning up. It's evident that only locals frequent this spot, which unfortunately leads to it being somewhat overlooked. Nevertheless, it's a lovely beach.

The beach offers enchanting sunsets with stunning scenery, featuring a sandy shoreline on one side and rocky terrain with a captivating lighthouse on the other, which will transport you to a mystical realm. However, I would not suggest camping here, as it becomes quite desolate and insecure during the night. Nevertheless, during dusk, you will be amazed by the countless stars illuminating the night sky, surpassing your wildest expectations.
