The beach is somewhat secluded from the city, and you can reach it by traveling along a roughly 1.5-kilometer dirt road that is in poor condition. On the beach, there is a hut equipped with chairs and tables. The beach itself is quite beautiful, with stones lining its edges. Although it is not very long, spanning around 200 meters, there is an abundance of space since it is rarely visited by people.

The beach offers a fantastic view and is adorned with numerous stones. However, the sea is not ideal for swimming, but it is perfect for surfing. I highly recommend paying a visit!
