The sandy beach is quite lovely, although it does tend to get crowded. It has become more commercialized over the past decade, which is a common occurrence. Additionally, it is easily accessible.

White sand beach that is surrounded by breathtaking mountains. Additionally, it is easily accessible, making it a convenient spot to enjoy the scenery and soak up the sun.

This stretch of coastline boasts a seemingly endless expanse of soft, inviting sand. For those seeking a bit of added comfort, sunbeds are on offer at a reasonable rate ranging from 20-50€. However, if you choose to bring your own gear, there's plenty of space to spread out and soak up the sun. It's worth noting that parking comes at a small fee of 5€, but the convenience is well worth it. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a relaxing day by the sea.

This beautiful beach with crystal-clear waters that will leave you in awe. Not only that, but there are also convenient bars and a mini market right on the beach, offering affordable prices for refreshing drinks and snacks. If you're looking to really indulge, there are lounge chairs available for a reasonable price of 12 euros. Alternatively, you can opt for the neighboring bar, which offers seating options ranging from 20 to 40 euros depending on your desired view. Keep in mind that food and drinks are not included in the price, but the experience is well worth it.
