Taking a stroll along the beachfront was a great experience. There were plenty of bars available offering tapas, meals, and drinks. Parking was free, which was an added bonus.

The beach has lots of stones, which makes it a bit tricky to get in the water, but once you do, the water is great and clean!

A delightful little beachside village with an abundance of eateries and watering holes - what more could one ask for?

8 Very good

Relatively peaceful and has some nearby beach bars and restaurants, plus showers and basic services. Unfortunately, a large portion of the beach is covered in stones, making it difficult to walk, relax, or go for a swim.
