This beach is an excellent destination for snorkeling enthusiasts. The area is teeming with a diverse array of fish, and there are plenty of rocks to explore. The water is shallow for approximately the first ten meters, making it a great spot for beginners to practice their skills.

This beach may seem like a hidden gem with its cleanliness and lack of crowds, but don't be fooled. The access to the beach is a nightmare and the rocks feel like they've been coated in slime. Forget about any beach bars or vendors, you'll have to bring your own supplies or make a pit stop on the way. And don't even think about finding any shade, unless you want to lug around an umbrella like a fool. Unless you're a glutton for punishment, I suggest finding a different spot to soak up the sun.
