The beach is absolutely stunning and has a unique, exotic feel. It's on the smaller side, but that only adds to the cozy and intimate atmosphere. It's perfect for those seeking a private and charming experience. The water is crystal clear and provides a great backdrop for photos. There's even a bar nearby where you can grab coffee and snacks. Although the beach is covered in small stones, it's still a great spot to relax and unwind.
