Traveler reviews
Nicola Monda
★★★★★2 years agoAlthough the other reviews are harsh, the place is nice. The beach is pretty clean and the water is literally transparent. Public showers and toilets are also available. There is police and baywatch service (starting at midday) because there are a lot of families with (noisy) children. A woman was drowning and lifeguard saved her in front of me.
Murad Hasan Shaon
★★★★★a month agoPerfect place for the people of all ages. You can swim if you don't know how to swim. Neat & clean and there is also changing room after swimming. For summer it’s too good ❤️
