This beach is a peaceful haven where you can enjoy the solitude without any disturbance. The vast expanse of the beach offers ample space to spread out and relax. The beach is locally known and has a breathtakingly beautiful scenery that will leave you mesmerized. It is advisable to carry your own water as there are no facilities available nearby. Additionally, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try your luck at catching an octopus. Overall, this beach is a perfect getaway for those seeking some quiet time in the lap of nature.

The beach offers breathtaking views of both small and expansive coastlines, though the tranquility is often marred by the blunders of fellow countrymen. Despite this, I highly recommend this destination for its serene atmosphere and crystal-clear waters.

Over the years, Vela beach has remained a timeless gem. To preserve its natural beauty, it is crucial for us to maintain cleanliness and avoid littering. Upon arrival, one can experience a serene oasis, akin to a natural pool, perfect for those who enjoy apnea. The beach offers a choice of two or three coves to explore and dive into. The water is shallow, making it an ideal spot for families with young children to play safely on the shore. Additionally, there are quaint shops nearby where visitors can enjoy a peaceful meal by the sea. Access to the beach is easy, as a simple car can navigate the dirt road with caution.

This lovely beach boasts a series of charming coves and crystal-clear waters that lap against the smooth pebbles that dot the shore. Accessible by a passable dirt road that leads visitors over the creeks and straight to the main beach, this idyllic location offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, over the years, some have erected various structures using wood, sheet metal, old doors, and iron, creating a controversial summer community. While many families have enjoyed spending their summers in these makeshift dwellings, it is essential that they take responsibility for keeping the area clean and free of garbage. The unfortunate reality is that litter is prevalent in this otherwise pristine environment, and it detracts from the natural beauty of the beach. It's easy to imagine that before the arrival of these human-made structures, the area was a paradise, and it's up to us to ensure that it remains one.
