Yet another beach with nothing new to offer, just the same old soft sand and predictable views stretching for miles. How thrilling.

The beach is truly magnificent, boasting of soft and velvety sand that's sure to make your feet happy. Though parking may require a bit of patience, it's not too difficult to find a spot. However, it's important to keep in mind that the tide can be quite high, leaving only a narrow strip of sand for you to enjoy. Additionally, the drop-off to the water can be quite steep. Despite this, the beach is still a fantastic location to spend an afternoon, basking in the sun and enjoying the refreshing ocean breeze.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to stumble upon one of the most exquisite beaches we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The month of September blessed us with tranquil weather conditions, and the temperature of the water was just right. The locals were incredibly warm and hospitable, and the beach was immaculately clean. But what truly stood out to us was the peaceful atmosphere that enveloped the entire beach.
