The shoreline is adorned with an abundance of rocks, requiring one to navigate around them in order to take a dip. However, the picturesque scenery makes up for the minor inconvenience.

Excursion Tale

8 Very good

The stunning coastal scenery is a sight to behold. A charming spot with a beachside bar to unwind and relax. The beach floor is a mix of sand and rock, but be wary of the rocks as they may be home to sea urchins. It's best to exercise caution and steer clear of any unpleasant encounters. For a more enjoyable experience, it's advisable to stay by the lakeside and keep an eye on the little ones while they frolic in the water.

This hidden gem of a beach has a lush canopy of trees providing ample shade, towering sand dunes, and a beach bar serving up refreshing drinks. The crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and offer a glimpse into the fascinating world below the surface. Additionally, the beach is home to numerous archaeological sites, adding a unique and historical element to your visit. Keep this slice of paradise a secret and savor the tranquil beauty it offers.
