The beach is kept very clean by the "chair people". Great chairs, great price and a restaurant on site as well. The water is very clean! Awesome for snorkeling around the little island !!

The beach on the peninsula that I adore the most is truly breathtaking. The bay is stunning and provides a calming and serene view. The water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom, and there are basic amenities such as sun beds, showers, and a buffet available for your convenience. The best part is that in September, there are no crowds, so you can easily access the beach by car and park for free. You can even swim to the island, play in the waves, or let your children frolic in the shallow water. It's the ideal spot to spend a peaceful and relaxing day.

This stunning beach is conveniently located near the city and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. While the cost of sunbeds may be slightly higher than other beaches, it's certainly not exorbitant. The crystal-clear, warm waters are a beautiful shade of blue and are impeccably clean. There are options for dining, including a reasonably priced restaurant and canteen. The beach is a popular spot for families and older individuals seeking a peaceful day by the sea.

During our stay, we had the pleasure of visiting the finest beach around. The water was pleasantly warm, the sand was pristine, and the entire area was immaculate. We were able to rent two sunbeds for the entire day for a reasonable price of 10 euros. The convenience of having access to a toilet, shower, and changing room made our day at the beach even more enjoyable. It was a relief to find that the beach was not crowded at all, and we were able to find free parking without any issues.

There's just something about this beach that sets it apart and makes it my top pick. Admittedly, it was April when I visited, so shade was scarce, but the sand was pristine and the water temperature was just right. Plus, there's a convenient café for refreshments. The restroom facilities may be minimal, but that's to be expected for a more low-key spot like this. All in all, a must-visit for beach lovers.
