During our visit to the beach today, we noticed that there were no umbrellas or sunbeds available. Additionally, it's worth noting that the beach has gray sand with pebble.

The beach is stunning, but it's quite rocky and requires footwear to enter the water for a swim. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand has a gray hue and is mixed with pebbles.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its gray sandy shore and pebbles. It's a great spot to relax and soak up the sun while lounging on the sunbeds. The snack bar is also a plus, offering delicious treats to munch on while enjoying the view.
