The public beach is pleasant and not overly crowded. However, it's important to note that there are stone plates in the water, some of which have sharp edges. It would be wise to consider wearing water shoes, especially when there are waves.

There is a designated section that is well-maintained, and adjacent to it is a more casual area. Unfortunately, there is no shade available, but the sand is absolutely perfect.
