I have been visiting this beach since I was 5 years old and even before that when I was an infant. I can never forget the waves and the stunning views, but it is still not enough to make me want to come back here.

That place is a true paradise! The wildness of the shoreline and the power of the waves make it a thrilling experience. Plus, the rocks hidden in the water add to the adventure. When the wind picks up, the waves can become quite dramatic, but it's still a great spot to relax and enjoy a unique beach day. On top of that, there are public toilets and a shower - perfect for a day out in the sun.
