The beach offers of its amazing crystal-clear water, teeming with a variety of colorful fishes. Though the road leading to the beach is narrow, the journey is worth every minute of it. In case two cars meet, there is always a way to maneuver. Upon reaching the top of the small island, you can park your car and take a ten-minute walk on a rocky path to reach the beach. Make sure to wear proper footwear, avoiding flip flops, and follow the path that goes to the right. To enjoy the pristine water, peace, and tranquility, it is best to arrive in the morning and find a shaded spot. The beach is relatively small, and the water is very still in the morning, allowing you to see your feet even when neck-deep. However, around 11.30 am, the beach gets crowded with tourists arriving on big boats, which takes away its charm. Also, the sun gets scorching hot around noon, so it's advisable to carry an umbrella, water, and snacks. Snorkeling near the stones is a must-do activity, as you can see a wide variety of fish species in the bluest water. You don't need water shoes as the sand is fine, with no rocks. Don't miss out on visiting this beach!

Getting to this beach requires a short hike, and if you're driving, be prepared for a bumpy off-road journey. Despite its small size, the beach boasts crystal-clear waters and incredibly soft sand. During our visit in September at 3pm, the water was pleasantly warm, making it the ideal temperature for a refreshing swim.

This beach is an absolute gem! The water is so clear, you could see the fish swimming around your toes. And the best part? It's not overrun with tourists, so you can actually enjoy the peace and quiet. The sand is soft and perfect for building sandcastles with the little ones. Plus, it's a great spot for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world. Just be warned, as the day goes on, it becomes a bit of a boat parking lot. But hey, at least you can wave to the sailors and feel like you're part of the nautical crew.

This beach is a true gem, with crystal clear waters perfect for swimming and relaxing. However, there are some occasional disturbances caused by tourist boats from 12-18, which can be a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, they also leave some litter behind, which is a sad sight to see. To fully enjoy your time here, it is recommended to stay on the rocks as the sand can be quite small and the waves can be strong. If you're looking for a flat space to rest, the area near the barbecue is a good option, but be sure to avoid any boat traffic. Despite these minor inconveniences, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to bask in the natural beauty of the sea.

The snorkelling experience was phenomenal, although the beach was not as expansive as we had hoped. We settled on the rocks, but the presence of sand flies forced us to retreat to our car after a brief hour. The area began to fill up with visitors around noon, but we were grateful that the boat excursions steered clear during our morning visit.
