This beach is far from being a hidden gem. It's incredibly crowded with both people and cars, making it practically impossible to find a parking spot. Moreover, the beach is unfortunately littered with trash and even human waste. It used to be a hidden beach, until someone thought it was a good idea to label it as such on Google Maps, which is completely absurd.

A small and secluded beach, quite possibly the most stunning one in the vicinity.

The beach is fantastic and secluded, but during the busy season, there will still be a good number of people around. You can easily find some shade, and the snorkeling is enjoyable. Getting to the beach can be a bit challenging, as the path is narrow and involves a little climbing at the end. The entrance to the path is often concealed by someone's parked car.
