The beach is absolutely stunning with crystal clear waters that are tranquil and just the right temperature for a refreshing dip. It boasts a pristine sandy shore and the added convenience of nearby parking, which means you won't have to trek too far to reach the shore (unlike other beaches in the area that require you to climb stairs).

This serene and secluded beach can only be accessed by boat, making it a hidden gem. The sand is stunning and the water is a mesmerizing shade of warm aquamarine. For those who are strong swimmers, the ancient Roman port is within reach and offers a unique experience. The entire area is brimming with natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination.

This beach is quite picturesque with its pristine white sand, but let's not get too carried away with the hyperbole. It's not like you're the only one who's stumbled upon this spot - there are just fewer people here than on the more popular beaches nearby. Sure, the natural beauty is impressive, but let's not forget that it's Mother Nature who deserves the credit for that. If you're looking to unwind and bask in the sun, then this beach might just do the trick. But don't expect to be transported to a mythical paradise - it's just a beach, after all.

The only thing that graces this location is a magnificent shoreline and a petite campsite, albeit slightly neglected. The sheer splendor of this place is simply breathtaking.
