One of the beaches that I absolutely love is the one nearby. If you take the path to your right, you'll find it. Whenever we visit, we always make sure to take a dip in the water and grab some ice cream from the vendor on the beach. It's like a little piece of paradise.

The beach has a beautiful location and offers amenities such as changing rooms and restrooms. There are also benches for visitors to sit on and a food truck that operates daily, weather permitting. The cliff path is well taken care of and the beach is situated in a secure cove between rocky areas. Additionally, there is a parking area located above the beach.

This beach is a haven for dog owners as it welcomes furry friends with open arms. The vast expanse of the beach is perfect for a game of fetch or a leisurely stroll with your pooch. The showers are top-notch and impeccably maintained, ensuring a refreshing post-swim experience. As you explore the beach path, you'll come across charming coffee stands where you can grab a cup of joe and bask in the serene surroundings.
