The beach is an ideal location to witness the magnificent sunset, which is undoubtedly the most spectacular on the island. However, the beach is littered with lifeless seaweed, and it could benefit from a thorough cleaning. Despite this, there are a few beach bars and a snack bar available, and you can rent sunbeds for €10.

The beach is absolutely stunning, and it's not overly crowded. However, it could be due to the time of year, as there may be more visitors in July and August. Regardless, it's a perfect spot for some relaxation and fun in the sun.

The beach is lovely, but it's a bit of a hassle to rent an umbrella and sunbed for 10 euros because they require you to spend an additional 50 euros at the bar. It's quite frustrating to feel like you owe them money right from the start.
