The beach is fantastic - it's perfect for fishing and is also animal-friendly. We had an excellent time there, and it was a treat to see a couple of horses enjoying the water. I really enjoyed the beach and would definitely visit again, especially on a beautiful summer day.

The beach was clean, but it was pretty windy. It seemed to be quite welcoming to dogs, and I even saw a guy catch a decent-sized fish.

The beach and its surroundings are breathtaking. My furry companions thoroughly enjoyed frolicking around here. The shells have an unusual hue and there are some peculiar jelly-like creatures. On the route, there appears to be an island that is home to seagulls. A visit to this spot is definitely recommended.
