This secluded beach appears to be desolate and neglected, unfortunately littered with an abundance of debris and plastic waste.

8 Very good

The pristine beach boasts an abundance of pebbles, both small and large, that pave the way to the crystal clear waters of the sea. Despite the rocky terrain, the beach remains a serene and peaceful location. The only downside is the unsightly road that leads to the beach.

The stunning and secluded village of Acorns or Acorns boasts of exceptional beaches that are truly a sight to behold. Located at the edge of the Myrtle Sea, the beaches here may not be organized, but they are an epitome of cleanliness with crystal clear waters. The cool north wind adds to the charm of the place and offers a breathtaking view of the village. The coarse sand on the beach is such that it doesn't stick to your feet, making it a comfortable experience. The arch of the beach provides natural shade from the arms in the early morning hours, making it a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The place is also popular for spearfishing, which many visitors indulge in.
