The beach was stunning, we visited towards the end of August and luckily it wasn't too busy. However, it's essential to bring an umbrella and water with you.

The beach boasts a lovely setting and offers a pleasant swimming experience. However, parking can be quite challenging and access is limited to those with a car or boat.

It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this charming beach after a lengthy stroll. Since it was September, there were few tourists around, resulting in a peaceful atmosphere. Despite the warm water, the beach was covered in stones and rocks, necessitating the use of sea shoes. The only drawback was the lack of nearby amenities, and finding any necessitated a long uphill walk.
