In my personal perspective, this beach is truly delightful and I would consider it to be the finest in the vicinity.

This serene beach is an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful escape. The restaurant on the premises is a delightful addition, offering delicious fare to satisfy your cravings. However, the cost of two sunbeds may come as a surprise, as it amounts to a hefty 20 Euros. Additionally, the shower facilities are not up to par, with even the cold shower being out of commission. It's a shame that such a beautiful beach lacks basic amenities, but the tranquil surroundings make up for it.

This beach, oh joy, another long stretch of sand with the added bonus of overpriced sunbeds. And let's not forget the cafe restaurant, because who doesn't love mediocre food at inflated prices? It's supposedly one of the best beaches in the area, but that's not saying much. To get there, you can take the boring route along the road past hotels or try the more strenuous cliff path. Either way, it's just another beach.

This stunning beach boasts mini caves and soft yellow sand, making it a true gem. While there are only a handful of businesses in the area, the one restaurant on the beach offers delicious meals with a view. However, the frequent JCB cleaning leaves noticeable tire marks on the sand. As with many beaches in the region, the ascent back to street level can be a bit steep.

The beach is an absolute beauty, and what's more, it's not too packed, so you can enjoy your time here without feeling cramped. There's a cafe right on the beach, and it comes with a handy toilet as well. The sand is a gorgeous golden hue, and if you take a stroll up the nearby hill, you'll be rewarded with a stunning vista of pink flowers, cacti, and the vast blue sea.
