This beach is wonderful and the water is incredibly clean. The facilities are well-maintained and there are plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas, and other beach amenities. Additionally, the beach has gray pebbles.

If you prefer beaches with gray pebbles and dislike the feeling of wet sand clinging to your body after a swim, then this is the ideal spot for you.
