The vast expanse of the beach was truly breathtaking. Despite the cloudy weather, the atmosphere was serene and calming. The water was just the right temperature, making it perfect for a refreshing swim. We spent a wonderful time on the beach, enjoying the natural beauty and tranquility. The availability of showers made our experience even more comfortable. However, finding a parking spot was a bit of a challenge, as the beach is quite popular. Nonetheless, the experience was worth it and we would definitely recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

The beach is truly remarkable, boasting of silky smooth sand and ample space for all beachgoers. While we visited during mid-October, the water was still quite enjoyable despite the slight increase in wave intensity. Safety was never a concern, and we had a blast frolicking in the refreshing water.

The expanse of this beach is simply astounding! The sand is so fine that it feels like powder beneath your feet, and the waves, though slightly larger, are still a delight for those new to swimming.
