This beach is quite charming, with a mix of light sand and pebbles. It's worth arriving early in the morning during the summer months, as the parking lot is limited. Keep in mind that it's about a 10-minute walk from the parking area to the beach.

This secluded beach is quite a challenge to access, with limited free parking spots that are often occupied. It's a rugged and natural setting without any amenities such as showers or restrooms. However, the nearby island is a highlight, and swimming to it can be a thrilling adventure. I had the most amazing snorkeling experience near this stunning islet, making it a must-visit spot for any aquatic enthusiasts.
