This beach, located in close proximity to the Princess Hotel, boasts a serene atmosphere with minimal crowds. Accessible by car, a short 100-meter dirt road leads to this hidden gem. Despite the unpaved path, the journey is well worth it as the beach itself is marvelous. In fact, it's more than just good - it's truly excellent.
