The beach is absolutely lovely, and there are a few food options available as well. However, during the summer months, it can get quite crowded.

This picturesque beach boasts a stunning shoreline composed of smooth stones, complemented by crystal-clear waters that provide a mesmerizing view of the island. Conveniently located, parking is available just a stone's throw away from the beach, ensuring a hassle-free visit.

During off-peak months, I envision the beach to be more enjoyable due to the reduced crowds. The beach itself is lovely, although it is composed of small pebbles instead of sand. It is advisable to wear water shoes when swimming to ensure comfort. Overall, I highly suggest visiting this beach.

The shoreline is a lovely spot to visit during the early hours of the day. However, as the day progresses and the crowd swells, the atmosphere can become less appealing.
