This small cove is accessible after a 25-minute walk through a beautiful, shady grove. Following the directions of Google Maps, you'll need to drive down a narrow road, and park outside the gate of a private property. All the other gates you'll pass along the way are full of sheep and fawns, but can be opened safely. The beach is very uncrowded and not equipped with amenities, but there is plenty of shade and fine pebbles. Be aware that the first few meters of water contain many sea urchins.
We visited this uncrowded beach on the first day of August and there were only around ten people. It's a great spot and you can easily get there by following Google Maps. The last 3 km are on a dirt road, so those with a tall car can drive all the way to the beach (just make sure to close the gate with the sign above it). If you have a lower car, you can park it at the side of the road before the last gate and then walk for about a kilometer. We were welcomed and said goodbye to by an elderly Italian couple who have been coming to the beach for more than 40 years.
This beach is likely the most popular on the island. To reach the end, you'll need to take a difficult dirt road (we had a bit of trouble). We left the car 10 minutes away and walked the rest of the way (it's best not to park near the houses along the dirt road). There's nothing to say about the beach itself - we were only about 10 people in the middle of August. The water was wonderful and the backdrop was breathtaking.
The beach is cramped and littered, and the water is contaminated. There is no designated parking area, so cars are just parked along the shoreline, giving the beach a crowded, rather than secluded, feel. Additionally, there are many people from a nearby village.
The beach was unfortunately littered with garbage, but otherwise it was a great spot for camping.
