A stunning beach with powdery white sand that connects to other coves at low tide, featuring plenty of nooks and crannies for exploration. Perfect for bodyboarding and water sports. However, it can be a bit windy from the north.

This beach has white water, but it's rarely crowded. The sand is made of fine gray pebbles, making it a great spot for a peaceful day by the sea.

A picturesque beach, but not the ideal getaway. The scenery is nice, but the sand is too coarse and the water is too cold. It's not a place to relax and enjoy the sun, but rather a place to admire the beauty of nature.

This spot 's water quality is top-notch, and the sand is as white as snow. The only downside is that, despite rarely being crowded, there are no showers or lifeguards. However, if you're looking for a peaceful day in the sun, this is the place to be.
