The beach offers a pleasant stroll, however, the strong currents can be a hazard and unfortunately, it is a spot where debris from the tide often accumulates.

This location is a great spot for dogs to be able to run around and enjoy their freedom, although it may not be the safest place for swimming.

We were captivated by the majestic view of the beach, where only experienced swimmers and surfers were allowed to enter. The red flag was a clear indication of the potential danger of the waters.
