Although not ideal for swimming, the beach provides a lovely space to relax and soak up the sun while lounging on the sandy shores. However, it's worth noting that the sand can be quite rough, and children may end up with minor scrapes and cuts. Despite this, it's a great spot to spend time with friends and family, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and gentle waves.
