The beach was absolutely stunning. I went there with two friends after an amazing walk and we had a great time. It's a truly beautiful place, a hidden gem that I highly recommend. I have unforgettable memories of my time there.

The beach is beautiful, but as others have mentioned, it can be challenging to get to. You'll need sturdy shoes to navigate the rocky path from the main beach.

The beach is absolutely beautiful and can be accessed from the car park within a 10-minute walk along a challenging path (we recommend wearing appropriate footwear). There is also a bar nearby for convenience.

The beach is fantastic with just the right amount of people. It's a bit tricky to access, as you have to climb over rocks from the neighboring beach. The water is crystal clear and the sand is soft and white. We definitely plan on returning!

This beach is a hidden gem! We loved it so much that we visited twice because of its beauty and tranquility. The access from the neighboring beach is a bit rugged, but it adds to the charm and is definitely worth it!
