8 Very good

The beach is small but charming, with crystal-clear water and a pebble shoreline. There's a shallow area perfect for toddlers to splash around in before it gradually gets deeper. While there are no amenities, there are convenient steps leading down to the beach and natural shade from the trees and rocks. Additionally, there's a stone wall that serves as a seating area or a spot to change. The top of the beach also has ample parking space for several cars.

This beach is small and peaceful, with crystal clear waters. Although it has pebbles instead of sand, the lack of big waves makes it a very enjoyable experience.
