5/5 found this review helpful
It was a great time for the whole family. The beach was virtually empty and everyone had fun climbing the rocks and exploring. The boys went swimming, but the water was frigid. Very relaxing after a day of walking and touring!!!! more

This is a beach, that has had many tattooed breast exposed to the open sky. However the residents do not always allow this display, feeling the naked body is evil. A wonderful beach, early mornings are far less crowded, making it enjoyable for the sun lovers. Always take a bottle of water, and pick-up your littler please.JR more
