"secluded beach offering a more peaceful experience. Crystal turquoise water. Free parking and there is a bar and bathroom but was closed when I was there. I don't know when they are open and also a shower but no water 😕"

"Very beautiful beach ⛱️ I really encourage you to visit this small and wild beach. Not crowded in the middle of September, clear water and a very small bar that opened at 12 o'clock. Accessible with every car and there's a parking area for like 30-40 cars. Enjoy it as we did ❤️"
