The beach is absolutely stunning and offers a sense of tranquility. It's best to visit when there is no wind.

This beach is located in a typical, secluded fishing town. It offers excellent fishing opportunities and provides convenient and peaceful access to the beach. There are plenty of rocks available for fishing, and there is even a rock pool where you can swim. The river is also easily accessible, and some locals offer day boat rentals without the usual busy commercial atmosphere. In terms of dining options, there is only one restaurant that operates, and although the food is delicious, the service can be slow. Additionally, there is a falconer in town who has plans to establish a bird rehabilitation center, which is definitely worth a visit.
