A bit of a wild one, so swimming isn't always an option. It's best to check the conditions before heading out for a dip.

This place isn't ideal for swimming due to the lack of sand and the strong waves. However, it's a great place to take a stroll. Additionally, there are some sea pools close by the old port, which are perfect for a dip without any worries.

That place is a great spot to bask in the power of the raging sea, all by yourself. It's perfect for those who seek a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy the solitude of the ocean, and the thrill of the waves.

A great place to unwind and relax. The scenery is breathtaking, with the mountains in the west providing a stunning backdrop. However, when you arrive at the shoreline, the area has a somewhat run-down and gloomy feel to it.

This spot was a bit of a letdown. It didn't live up to my expectations. It was okay, but nothing special.
