This beach is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views. There are two small beaches with varying soil, one with small pebbles and the other with fine sand. The water is a gorgeous turquoise color! During late August and early September, it's not crowded at all. Additionally, parking is easy and there's quick access via stairs.
