      Plaja care duce la hotel este curata, apa limpede cu intrare lina in apa, perfecta pt familii cu copii. Se pot inchiria sezlonguri contra cost, sau exista posibilitatea de a sta si fara, gratuit cu prosop.Sunt multe magazine in zona, atat alimentare cat si cu suveniruri, rent-a -car. Sunt si taverne, terase pe plaja. Nu este foarte mare agitatie in zona. Probabil a contat si perioada sejurului nostru 26.08-03.09.2024.
