The beach has shaded parking, but there isn't much room to stay on the sand. It's a great spot for yachts and boats though.

This spot is a must-visit, with excellent food options. I highly recommend trying the grilled lamb with potatoes and onions. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The outdoor setting is very simple, but the lush nature surrounding it will win you over. Additionally, the beach has light pebbles which add to its unique charm.

6 Pleasant

I visited this beach mainly to grab a refreshing drink from the restaurant after a strenuous bike ride and hike. However, the path leading to the beach is quite uneven and treacherous, and although the beach itself is attractive, it is relatively small and infested with sea urchins. There are no shaded areas to relax in unless you are content with setting up your towel in a dusty parking lot. In comparison, Plieski beach situated nearby is a more pleasant option.
