Small quiet beach, there is plenty of space for your own umbralla. There are some sunbeds and one sort of bar. The sand is fine, the water is shallow, but there are some rocks and slabs at the entry. We found a hedgehog in the sand (not on the rocks), so best use special shoes. The water was warm and tranquil, but it was windy. Also, we visited it in the afternoon, so little after 6pm there was no more sun on the beach.

Raw , spartan beach but really nice. Parking under the trees. Mid July, 10 euros the sunbeds plus 2 drinks however plenty of room to towel section.

10 Exceptional

Free beach but if you want to get a subbed and coffee it’s for €10 which is not bad. We stayed at the elevated side after the parking lot and it’s much cooler as we have a baby. The view from a higher level was perfect and the shade from the tree helped for us to stay longer with a baby. The staff on the food shop are nice and they have great mixed fruits selection for €5 each. Again not bad considering they serve fresh fruit juices and the service was quick.

Grate Beach. A lot of sand (on the beach and in the water), good for snorkeling, paddling but after the first 10 meters from the shore, it is a rock line parallel to the beach with sea ​​hedgehog. So, you must ware water shoos. Except this, it is perfect. It has no restaurant, toilets or sun beds. Perfect for family time and child friendly

10 Exceptional

One of the best beaches on the island. Not crowded (at least in july). Shady parking. Just next to the main road. There are 3 options: shady terraces under the trees, sunbeds (free with 10 Euro order), and free area if you prefer using your own gear. The bar is decent, the staff is very friendly and the prices are just as everywhere else. There is no WC. It is all sand, no stones.
