The arduous 800m trek through a rugged and uneven path of sharp stones, necessitates sturdy footwear and precludes the use of flimsy slippers. Upon arrival, the beach is found to be rather congested and diminutive, with other superior options available in the vicinity.

The beach is truly magnificent. Although it requires a walk of approximately 800 to 1000 meters, the journey is quite pleasant. The beach is abundant with shade, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. Additionally, the shipwreck is a sight to behold and is perfect for snorkeling.

The beach we visited was a serene and secure location, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It was relatively uncrowded, providing ample space to relax and unwind. The water was crystal clear and invigorating, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the refreshing ocean. However, we found that there was not much to explore beneath the surface of the water.

The beach is truly exquisite! It boasts an expansive stretch of sand, complete with ample shade and a blissful lack of crowds. The only minor drawback is that it requires a 15-20 minute walk to reach, but the payoff is well worth it if you plan on spending a few hours or even an entire day basking in its beauty.

The beach is pleasant, though I found it to be somewhat unclean due to the presence of broken glass and other litter. It's a shame that people don't take better care of this beautiful spot. However, the bay itself is truly stunning, and there are plenty of trees providing ample shade. The water is clear, though not quite crystal-clear, as the sea bottom is mostly sandy. Getting to the beach requires a 10-15 minute walk along a rocky path, as you must park your car near the restaurant. This is actually one of the reasons why the beach is not overcrowded.
