The beach may not be the most secure environment for women traveling alone.

8 Very good

The pristine shoreline is a sight to behold, with its crystal-clear waters and immaculate sand. I highly suggest planning your visit on a weekday, as the weekends tend to draw a large crowd. Nonetheless, the beach remains a serene haven, perfect for soaking up the sun and taking a refreshing dip in the sea.

8 Very good

This shoreline boasts a team of vigilant lifeguards and welcoming locals, making it a delightful destination for a day in the sun. However, it may be wise to implement measures to ensure visitors maintain a safe distance from one another. Additionally, those who bring their own beach equipment, particularly young men with only a towel in hand, may benefit from clearer guidelines. Overall, this beach is a wonderful spot to soak up some rays and enjoy the seaside atmosphere.

6 Pleasant

The beach appears to be a pleasant location, yet it lacks convenient bathroom facilities. The sole restroom available is situated quite a distance away and has limited hours of operation. Additionally, the beach is littered with an abundance of plastic waste and discarded cigarette butts. It would be ideal if visitors could take responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of the area. It is truly unfortunate to witness such disregard for the environment.
