This hidden gem of a beach is a true paradise with crystal clear waters that are simply breathtaking. Once you make your way down the steps, you will be greeted by a picturesque view of the shore. For the best experience, it is recommended to head towards the left side. However, it is unfortunate that the beach is not being properly maintained, resulting in an abundance of litter. Nevertheless, efforts were made to clean up the beach on January 1, 2023.

Believe it or not, a mere 200 meters away from this spot, lies a beach that can actually be enjoyed without fear of being swept away by the current or encountering a jellyfish. It's a true gem among the beaches on this island, with waters that beckon you to take a dip and sand that doesn't feel like a bed of nails. You won't regret taking a stroll down to this slice of paradise.

The beach was in a dismal state with litter strewn all around, making it an uninviting sight. It is not recommended to pay a visit to this beach due to its poor condition.

This serene beach has a tranquil atmosphere that is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape. The beach access is currently undergoing some renovations, but the stairs are still accessible for use. While shade is limited, there are a few areas that offer respite from the sun's rays. The rocky terrain creates charming little pools of water that are home to tiny crabs. During high tide, the beach may offer a unique experience that is worth exploring.
