The beach has an amazing atmosphere and offers a captivating view. I truly enjoyed my time there. The waves are quite impressive and the wind brings a light drizzle to the shores, which adds to the charm. If you plan on visiting, remember to bring sunscreen and everything you need to fully enjoy a pleasant walk. Have a fantastic journey!

This is an authentic fishing village without the usual tourist crowds. There are multiple beaches to explore, including a natural pool at Punta Balandra. It's refreshing that locals here generally don't pay much attention to tourists, which can be quite pleasant.
