This idyllic beach is a haven for marine life enthusiasts, who can enjoy the company of 80cm gilthead seabreams and schools of oblades without the need for a mask or snorkel. However, be mindful of jellyfish lurking in the waters.

The journey from the harbor to the beach is a challenging one, as the pathway is steep and uneven, with narrow passages and obstacles like rocks and roots that can make it a bit of a trek. It takes a minimum of 35 minutes to traverse the trail on foot, but the stunning vistas along the way make it all worthwhile. You'll be treated to breathtaking views of cliffs and trees as you make your way towards the beach, which is truly a paradise on earth. The water is crystal clear and warm, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You'll be able to spot all sorts of marine life, even with just basic gear. The sand is soft and inviting, and the whole place has an almost magical quality, especially in the evenings when it's quiet and peaceful.
