The beach was decent. In the morning, people tend to occupy a large area but don't actually arrive until noon, so it's advisable to secure your spot early.

The beach was so stunning that I couldn't resist taking an early lunch instead of working. The views from the dunes were absolutely breathtaking. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly everyone was, especially the locals. I've never encountered such a warm and welcoming group of people before. I genuinely believe they would have invited me to their homes for dinner. It was an incredible experience! I'm even considering making the big decision to relocate here. Seriously, it's that amazing!
