6 Pleasant

The expansive shoreline boasts immaculate cleanliness and a plethora of amenities. However, the beach is inundated with an abundance of tourists, leading to a sense of being trapped in a bustling Spanish resort. If you desire a serene atmosphere to relax with a small group, this may not be the ideal destination for you.
