A great spot to relax in the heat. It's a great place to spend time with friends. Unfortunately, it's not the type of beach with sand, which is a shame.

This spot is a real paradise! The crystal clear water is simply mesmerizing, and the only downside is the lack of sand - instead, there are stones. Nevertheless, it's still an amazing spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature.
