A lovely small beach with cliffs around and clear blue water, just amazing to relax. The earlier you arrive the less people will be there. In the afternoon more people are visiting the spot however I would not call the beach crowded. If you arrive by car I recommend not to go down until the end of the road. Park your car about 400 m before you arrive at the beach. The route conditions are okay but there appear big wholes in the street which makes you feel sorry for your car when you hit one ;) So when you arrive at a sign showing you „to the beach“ stop there and continue walking (in case you don’t have a jeep or off road car).

Very nice beach. Beautiful rocks, place to put blanket. But unfortunately difficult to swim, some rocks can prevent. But near you can find another beach for that
