This nice beach has crystal-clear waters and is nestled in a cozy little bay. The abundance of rocks and fish makes it an idyllic spot for snorkeling enthusiasts. Additionally, the convenience of an outdoor shower and the option to rent sunbeds and umbrellas make for a truly luxurious experience. I highly recommend a visit to this beach, though it may be a challenge to find parking if arriving by car.

This beach is truly a hidden treasure! 🏝️ It's a local spot with stunning cliffs and perfect for snorkeling. We stumbled upon it by chance, and it quickly became one of our top destinations. What's more, the lack of wind and waves make it an ideal spot to relax and soak up the sun. The surrounding cliffs provide a sense of seclusion and tranquility, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 🌴
