This is a lovely spot with a few bars, and even during peak holiday season, it's not too crowded. The only downside is that parking can be a challenge - we had to park about 800 meters away. However, the rates are standard for the area. There's also a charming little boulevard near the beach with souvenir shops and more bars. Overall, I highly recommend this beach for a relaxing four-hour break.

The beach is stunning with its pristine and golden sand. The atmosphere is pleasant and the parking lot is huge and reasonably priced. It's a great place for leisurely walks around the harbor, regardless of the season.

The beach is a charming spot with breathtaking views of the sea. There are numerous options for grabbing a delicious meal, including lunch, dinner, and ice cream. The locals are welcoming, and there are plenty of furry friends to play with. Additionally, the stunning dunes are perfect for leisurely strolls.
