During the off-season, the beach is only occupied by sheep and goats. It has a rugged and pristine environment, but lacks sandy shores and instead features large stones.

The beach is fantastic, but it can become quite risky when there are big waves due to the majority of the beach being situated on extensive rock formations.

The beach is located in a secluded area, accessible only by a dirt road. It offers a peaceful atmosphere and is surrounded by stunning natural scenery.

This beach is absolutely stunning, with its rocky shoreline. There are two small sections that are usually deserted, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and having some peaceful time under the sun. The cliffs also provide a picturesque backdrop for capturing beautiful photos and enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sunset.
