The bay is stunning and the ideal time to visit is in the early morning when it's less crowded. The beach has a mix of sand and stones, and the water is absolutely gorgeous. Although there are some bits of trash here and there from boats, it's still a lovely spot to relax. Plus, it's worth noting that it's a public beach with free entry for all.

The beach boasts a beautiful sea, but accessing it may be difficult due to the rocky road that can be challenging for regular cars. Additionally, visitors should be aware that there are many wasps on the beach, which is to be expected for a wild beach. However, it is worth noting that this beach has public free entry.

The beach is truly amazing, but the road leading to it is quite bumpy and may not be suitable for certain vehicles. It's recommended to bike there if possible. After parking, there's a 400m walk through a forest to reach the beach, which is shaded and perfect for hot days. The beach itself has a rocky coastline with lots of trees providing shade, as well as a stunning shallow sandy bay where you can walk far out into the water. I regret not having more time to fully explore the surroundings.
