The beach is pleasant, tidy, and has crystal-clear water. It is not as salty as the Mediterranean Sea.

The beach is absolutely stunning. The water is crystal clear and the beach itself is immaculately clean. There is a designated area for barbecues and camping, and wooden benches are provided for seating. Additionally, there are clean restroom facilities and showers available for use after swimming.
