"Clean beach, convenient parking (blue lines), chemical toilets on public beaches with everything you need. Extremely clean sea, shallow water, cliffs... so protected from the waves."
Francesca del vecchio
"The beach is right next to a busy road. We were looking for a public beach to pitch our tent. As we settled in, the unpleasant employee from the sun lounger and umbrella rental company tried to turn us away, citing an obscure, unwritten municipal regulation. Avoid this place."
Francesca Serventi
"Comfortable, large enough...clean water in the morning."
