A lovely seaside spot with convenient parking just a short 5-minute stroll away. During the summer months, visitors can enjoy a cozy beach bar for refreshing beverages.

Compact shoreline, conveniently situated and peaceful. Ample parking available in the vicinity.

Gorgeous shoreline, among the top choices in the region, stunning during both low and high tide. Easily reachable by a 5-minute walk, with complimentary parking available nearby. While there is a beachside establishment, it falls short of expectations. I would recommend sticking to canned beverages like soda or beer, as the cocktails are lacking in quality. Additionally, restroom facilities are available on-site.

Ideal spot for a family day out or a peaceful getaway with your loved one. Placing your towel near the water's edge may require you to relocate it as the tide comes in swiftly. In all honesty, I found this beach to be among the most stunning and secluded in the vicinity. Additionally, there is a beachside bar and complimentary parking, which are both highly convenient amenities.
