The beach has gray sand with pebbles and overall, it's excellent. However, it can be a bit of a challenge to handle when it gets windy, which is why I gave it 4 stars.

The beach is a great spot to unwind, and there's also a beach bar to enjoy.

The beach has gray sand mixed with pebbles and stretches out for a considerable distance before reaching the deep sea. It can get quite windy at times.
