The beach is small, yet it boasts a picturesque setting. The water is teeming with a variety of fish.

Although it may require some effort to access the beach, as you must ascend a steep incline and wear appropriate footwear, the rewards are well worth it. The beach is truly breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and pristine sand. It is advisable to bring swimming shoes, as the ocean floor is dotted with rocky ledges, mussels, and occasionally sea urchins. Nonetheless, the beach is a hidden gem that is well worth a visit.

4 Frustrating

The beach is a decent location for observing the sunset, however, it doesn't offer much beyond that. The sand is not particularly pleasant and it's quite rocky even in the water. Parking is limited and the pathway leading to the beach is mostly smooth, but the final stretch is rough and littered with stones, making it unsuitable for strollers.

The beach is small, but there are plenty of wild and interesting things to discover underwater.

This is a lovely spot to spend your day by the sea. When the breeze comes from the east, you'll be sheltered from the bay. The waters are teeming with fish, and with a bit of luck, you might even catch a glimpse of a moray eel or two.
