Although it may not be the most picturesque beach, the lack of waves and crystal-clear water may not be the only factors that make it a less-than-perfect option. Despite this, if you happen to find yourself on the island, it is still a fantastic choice for a day of relaxation and sunbathing.

If you yearn for a moment of solitude and peace, then make sure to visit the beach early in the day. As the day progresses, the island transforms into a bustling tourist hub. However, the community's incredible organization ensures that the tourism industry thrives sustainably. This is the perfect opportunity to witness the beach in its natural and unadulterated form.
