What a gem of a beach! It offers more than just sunbathing and swimming. You can indulge in rock climbing and other thrilling activities. However, it's essential to keep an eye on the tide as it can rise quickly.

This little slice of sandy heaven is quite the charmer, with a cozy vibe that'll make you feel right at home. The access path is more than decent, offering up easy breezy strolls that won't leave you huffing and puffing. However, if you're looking for a luxurious beach day with all the bells and whistles, you might want to search elsewhere. This spot is as bare bones as they come, with no facilities to speak of. But hey, who needs fancy amenities when you've got the sun, sand, and sea at your fingertips?
