The beach is absolutely stunning, and it's incredibly relaxing to witness the power of nature through the crashing waves and rugged rocks. However, I wouldn't recommend swimming there, especially when the waves are strong, as there are numerous sharp stones that can be dangerous. The waves are forceful enough to sweep you away and potentially cause injuries on the jagged rocks. Additionally, there are no beach huts available, so you'll have to find a free tree to seek shade and make yourself comfortable. There are also no nearby restaurants, so it's important to bring your own food. Despite these drawbacks, I believe it's the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and bring your own drinks. Keep in mind that the road leading to the beach is quite rough and dusty, making access a bit challenging.
