The beach is serene, spotless and tranquil. It can be reached via a few unpaved paths, but it poses no difficulty for an average vehicle.

This is a gorgeous beach to spend a day at. If you're up for it, make sure to go snorkeling on the far left side. The first area on the right has an entrance to the sea with stones. The middle part is great for kids with sand and a few stones. And for those seeking a more adventurous experience, the far left side has lots of stones and fish (perfect for snorkeling). Plus, there's an old man with fascinating stories and a beautiful spot that's definitely worth checking out.

The beach is a nesting ground for careta careta tortoises, which is why it is under official protection and has specific rules in place. These rules include no umbrellas and allowing only a few meters of play near the shore. Most of the nests are marked and easy to avoid, but new nests are created almost every night, so the beach is closed from sundown until 7am. Additionally, there are taverns nearby, some of which offer complimentary sunbeds.
