In my opinion, this beach is the most serene and stunning on the island. Additionally, the sand on the beach is gray and there are pebbles scattered throughout.

The beach has a pleasant atmosphere and is worth visiting, but it's important to note that it has gray sand mixed with pebbles. It's recommended to come prepared with proper beach gear and supplies for a comfortable experience.

The beach can be easily accessed by leaving your car and taking a 300-meter walk along a path. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a stunning view of the endless blue sea. The sand on the beach is gray and has pebbles scattered throughout.

The beach is absolutely stunning, but the road leading to it is in poor condition, making it a bit challenging to access.

The beach is fantastic, but it tends to be peaceful since not many people visit it, especially families. However, reaching the beach can be challenging due to the narrow and unpaved road. Once you arrive, parking is a breeze, but you will need to take a five-minute stroll through a small forest to get to the beach.
