The beach with untamed and natural beauty. It's only accessible by a 4X4 vehicle, so be sure not to attempt the journey in a regular car. Don't forget to bring along some refreshing beverages like water, coffee, or juice to keep you hydrated during your visit.

The beach was quite pleasant, although the gravel was somewhat uncomfortable at times.

This place deserves a solid 5 stars as it is impeccably clean and well taken care of. While swimming in the sea may not be advised due to the abundance of stones, searching for flotsam can be a fascinating activity. Thankfully, the spacious pool provides ample space for swimming. Additionally, the restoration work is truly impressive.
