The beach with crystal clear waters that make the drive to get there well worth it. However, it's important to be cautious of stingrays that tend to make an appearance in the evening. It's a common practice among the locals to feed them around 6pm, so be mindful of your surroundings during that time.

The beach is truly beautiful with its soft beige sand and transparent cool turquoise waters. The fishing boats along the shore add to the uniqueness and authenticity of Castara. We visited on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. While we were bathing, a large stingray swam between us which made us exit the water, but the locals assured us that they are not harmful. So keep an eye out for them! We also had the chance to buy fresh fish from a diver who came on shore during our visit. The fishing facility was clean, sanitized, and well equipped. Our fish were cleaned and packaged in no time.

The beach is exceptionally clean, and the locals are very hospitable. There's a convenient minimart right on the beach, and the diving spots are fantastic.

The beach is undeniably stunning, however, it may not be the ideal choice for those who prioritize fishing as there is a depot on site. Despite this, it remains a beautiful spot. On the day of my visit, the weather was a bit cloudy. Additionally, there is a dirt oven outdoors where locals bake delectable breads and pastries that are definitely worth sampling.
