8 Very good

This beautiful beach is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a great spot to unwind and soak up the sun without the crowds that often plague other beaches. The beach is well-maintained and boasts free showers, making it a convenient choice for those looking to freshen up after a swim. However, if you plan on driving to the beach, it's best to avoid the weekends as parking can be quite challenging. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tranquil day by the sea.

6 Pleasant

This charming little fishing hamlet boasts a stunning pebble beach that draws visitors from far and wide. The beach is a popular destination, so it can get quite crowded at times. However, recent changes to the traffic regulations mean that only residents are allowed to enter the ZTL area and park there, so visitors should be aware of the potential for fines if they attempt to do so. Despite this, the beach remains a must-visit spot for anyone looking to soak up some sun and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

10 Exceptional

The beach features a stunning view with crystal-clear waters that are a sight to behold. However, the beach itself is not very comfortable, with no amenities and litter strewn about. It's evident that the local government has neglected the area, as there are no trash cans in sight. It's a shame that such a beautiful place is left to deteriorate. Despite this, I still recommend visiting, but it's crucial to be mindful of the environment and take care of our surroundings.

4 Frustrating

The beach was truly delightful and captivating, although it's a shame that some of the staff behaved in an uncivilized manner. I must mention my recent visit to see the Bronzes, where the attendant at the exit of the hall was deplorable in their conduct towards visitors. They were unapologetic and incredibly impolite, which was disappointing given the beauty of the Bronzes.
