The water is pleasantly warm and there are no seaweeds or rocks to worry about. The person at the kiosk is very friendly and reasonable, and is a brilliant individual.

Although this beach is pleasant, it seems to have an excess of sun loungers in proportion to its limited area, leaving little room for free movement. It may be an ideal spot for a peaceful day by the sea during off-peak times or if you enjoy sharing your reading material with your neighbors.

Located conveniently close to the road, this small sandy beach boasts a plethora of sunbeds and umbrellas for its visitors. These amenities are free to use if you order something from the bar, which has a menu available for your perusal. With three rows of beds, the beach can get a bit crowded at times, but the view of Istron Bay is worth it. The water is a stunning shade of blue and is crystal clear, with only small waves to contend with. However, there may be some temperature changes between the bottom and surface of the water due to the presence of currents. For those who enjoy water sports and boating, there are plenty of options available for your entertainment. As an added bonus, parking is available right next to the beach.

The beach boasts of stunningly clear waters and fine sand, creating a picturesque environment that is perfect for a peaceful retreat. I highly recommend visiting if you prefer a smaller, more intimate setting for a truly relaxing vacation.

This location is a hidden gem, with minimal tourist activity, and a vibrant local community. Ample parking is available, and there are a few bushes for those who prefer not to venture into the ocean. The water is breathtakingly stunning and invites you to indulge in its splendor. In the words of the Terminator, I'll be back to this picturesque beach.
