While the beach itself may not be the best, there are a few enjoyable taverns located nearby. Additionally, the beach boasts light sand with pebbles scattered throughout.

8 Very good

This beach is absolutely lovely, with ample room to spread out and plenty of shady trees to relax under. You'll find a plethora of tavernas and coffee shops right on the water's edge, making it a convenient spot for families to spend the day. However, it's important to note that the water can be tricky to access due to the rocky terrain, so it's recommended that you wear plastic shoes to avoid any accidents.
