The beach is a stunning sight to behold with crystal clear waters that are tinted in a mesmerizing shade of blue. The overall ambiance of the beach is simply lovely, and it is the perfect place to unwind and relax with your loved ones.

The shore is a serene haven perfect for young ones since there are no tumultuous waves to worry about. However, the absence of restroom amenities is a downside. The beach is owned by a hotel on the other side of the road, which prohibits non-guests from using their facilities, leaving the beachgoers with no choice but to seek nearby restaurants for their restroom needs.

Located at the rear of what seems to be a historic harbor, lies a beach that offers a serene haven from the gusts of wind and the tumultuous waves. The sand is smooth and velvety, making it an ideal spot for families to bask in the sun. Every hour or so, a vendor peddles delicious donuts, while another offers an array of fresh fruits. The cost for two sunbeds and a parasol is a reasonable 6 euros, making it an affordable and enjoyable day out.

This charming beach is nestled on a cozy lagoon, providing a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for comfort, there are comfortable loungers available for rent at a reasonable price of 6€ for a pair. Alternatively, you're welcome to bring your own gear and set up camp along the shore. We opted for both options and were pleased to find that we were left undisturbed throughout our visit.

Although I didn't stay at the hotel, I was fortunate enough to spend some time on the beach. For just €5, I was able to rent two comfortable beach beds and a parasol with a table. The best part? I was allowed to keep it all day, even if I had to leave for a bit. If you're worried about your towels flying away in the breeze, simply fold the back down or use some pegs. Speaking of the breeze, it was lovely and refreshing during my visit. The beach itself is a stunning little cove, perfect for swimming or lounging on a lilo. And don't even get me started on the fresh doughnuts sold by the vendor on the beach - they are an absolute must-try! Overall, my experience at this beach was incredibly welcoming and enjoyable.
