The beach is stunning, but unfortunately, the prime locations are taken up by campers and tents. Additionally, swimming can be hazardous due to the waves.

The beach is incredibly spacious and stretches out far and wide. The seabed is composed of rocky slabs, and it's a popular spot for nudists. It's recommended to bring an umbrella for shade.

The beach offers of amazing sand, and we specifically chose to sunbathe on the nudist part located in the middle, which was easily accessible from the south part. Although the sea can be a bit rough, it remains shallow. It is advisable to bring your own shade if necessary.
