Calm water, two restaurants to choose from, lounge chairs and umbrellas for rent, very low key. Great for families with kids who want relatively calm water.

very relaxing and quiet beach..nice water. Karin the masseuse is fantastic but the little restaurant had the worst service ever, it was as if we were a problem for them. Dont give a penny to those losers

Small hidden beach, you have to take a back road and there are cows at the beach. My complaints are rocks on the shore but once you get through them the sand is soft and the water is very clear. It seemed that the undertoad was the strongest here also, when the waves hit the beach they come back toward... More
