This beach is definitely one of the top picks on the island. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand is made up of small, smooth pebbles.

The beach is visually stunning, but unfortunately, it is not suitable for both dogs and humans. Additionally, the beach has light, fine pebbles.

The beach is an exceptional delight, encompassing the entire island. The best way to explore the area is by cycling, which is highly recommended. The crystal-clear blue sea is a sight to behold, and having your own private beach so close to the water is simply amazing.
