This beach was a sight to behold! On a serene Monday afternoon, the tranquil waters and peaceful atmosphere made for a perfect getaway. It was as if the world had slowed down just for us to bask in the beauty of nature. The gentle waves lapping at the shore and the soft sand between our toes made for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this beach is the perfect destination.

The shoreline resembles that of Croatia, with a pebbly texture that is easy on the feet. A handful of trees are scattered across the beach, providing some respite from the scorching sun. However, the sight of litter strewn across the nearby shrubbery detracts from the overall experience of lounging on the Adriatic coast.

This beach is rather small and lacks the grandeur of larger beaches. The descent to the beach is a bit steep and treacherous, especially for those who are not used to such terrain. The forest surrounding the beach does provide some shade, but it is not enough to protect from the scorching sun. The entrance to the water is not very exciting, and the pebble bottom is not very comfortable to walk on. While the surrounding rocks may have a rich underwater life, it is not easily visible to the naked eye. The water may be ultra-pure, but it does not make up for the lackluster beach experience.

The serene beach is adorned with ample shade to relax under while enjoying the picturesque view of the crystal clear sea. However, it is important to be cautious of the numerous urchins that inhabit the area. Nonetheless, the pristine waters make it worth the effort to navigate around these creatures.
