A real gem! With a lovely path to stroll down, it's the perfect spot to take a leisurely stroll.

That place is a paradise! It's a tranquil spot with easy access and parking, and the water is so clear you can see right to the bottom. Even though it's a bit chilly, it's worth taking a dip. Plus, there are showers so you can rinse off afterward.

This spot is far from ideal. It is not as bustling as other nearby beaches, but that doesn't make it any better. Accessibility is not an issue, as there are wooden walkways and a small breakwater. However, the beach is not ideal for sunbathing in summer, nor is it ideal for walking in winter. It is a quiet beach, but that doesn't make it any more inviting. All in all, this beach is far from ideal and there are better options nearby.

That place is great for visiting on the weekend, with easy access and parking. The sand is soft and the water is crystal clear. Plus, there's a bar-type booth and you can rent a pedal boat for just 5 euros for 30 minutes or 10 euros for an hour.

Simply stunning; its crystal clear waters, lush green vegetation, and now its beautiful white sand make it an ideal destination for a relaxing getaway.
