The beach is absolutely stunning and secluded, definitely worth the one-hour hike to get there. The water is crystal clear and calm, making it the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. However, it's important to note that the hike back is uphill and requires some effort, so it may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. Alternatively, it can be accessed by car.

The beach is stunning, but it can get quite choppy due to its exposure to the open sea.
