Breathtaking beach that is a true gem. The crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches make for a picturesque view. However, it's important to be cautious as the initial few meters of waterfront have slippery base rocks that can cause accidents. As the sun sets, the atmosphere changes to one of tranquility and charm. Visitors flock to the nearby restaurants for a delicious meal while enjoying the serene surroundings. And when night falls, the view is nothing short of spectacular. The stars twinkle in the sky, enhancing the beauty of the mountain edge points. In conclusion, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a memorable experience. Highly recommended for those who want to indulge in the beauty of nature and enjoy a peaceful getaway.

The beach is a stunning location, with its pristine waters and gorgeous scenery. However, accessing it can be a challenge if you do not have your own transportation. The cost of hiring a taxi is exorbitant, and finding one can be a grueling task.

The beach is a lovely spot with limited area, mostly occupied by sun loungers. However, the snorkeling experience is fantastic, and the rock formations are breathtaking. Additionally, there are several restaurants to grab some refreshments. Although it's not my top pick, it's still a decent place to spend some time.

The stunning scenery was particularly breathtaking during the evening hours, making for a truly picturesque experience.

The beach is simply amazing with its soft sandy texture. It offers an array of restaurants to satisfy your cravings and comfortable deck chairs to relax on. During our visit, the waves were impressively huge, making it unsuitable for swimming. However, the little ones had a delightful time playing with the waves in the shallow waters and building sandcastles on the shore.
