The beach offers a spectacular coastal line that is sure to leave you in awe. Although it is a pebble beach, this actually adds to its charm as it saves you from the hassle of getting sand in everything. The nearby cafés are a great addition and the sunbeds and umbrellas are reasonably priced at 4 euro and 2 euro respectively. The crystal clear water is a sight to behold and makes this beach a must-visit destination.

2 Very poor

The beach is quite petite and tends to get quite congested, with the added downside of being covered in pebbles. I wouldn't recommend it for a relaxing day out. To make matters worse, dogs are not permitted on the premises for reasons unknown.

4 Frustrating

The beach is not your typical sandy paradise, as it is adorned with hot stones that require footwear for comfort. The majority of the beach is occupied by umbrellas, but there is still room for those seeking relaxation. However, lying down or walking can prove to be uncomfortable due to the rocky terrain, so it may be worthwhile to explore alternative beaches.

Whether you're looking to soak up the sun on the sandy shores or take a leisurely stroll through the quaint streets of the town, this beach has something for everyone. With its picturesque scenery and laid-back atmosphere, it's no wonder why so many visitors return to this enchanting locale time and time again.
