There is a small pebble beach just a two-minute walk from where you park your car. The beach is about 70 meters long, but there are some abandoned objects scattered within the old walls of a small house, possibly once belonging to fishermen. Despite this, it is still worth visiting.

The bay is stunning and conveniently accessible. There is parking available above, and from there, you'll need to walk the remaining distance to reach the bay. It's crucial to take the straight path at the fork to reach this particular section. The water is incredibly clear, although there may be fewer fish compared to other bays. You might need to venture further out. Nevertheless, the overall experience is absolutely enchanting.
