Not a big deal. Come here yourself. 10 minute walk to the sand alone. I recommend after 15.00, when the sand is not hot.

Arrive early in the morning, the sun has just risen. Walk on the sand dunes barefoot to feel the coolness of the sand.

Renting a car is a bit expensive (compared to me) but the entrance ticket is cheap. The view is beautiful, the photos are ok, it's okay :v
