This picturesque beach boasts a stunning sandy shoreline and secluded coves. During the summer months, the beach can become quite busy after 10am. Snorkeling is a popular activity, and there are a variety of services such as kayaking and boat rental available. There are also a few restaurants and an outdoor shower. It should be noted that access to the beach and parking is restricted. Half of the beach is reserved for a hotel/restaurant and kayak rental shop, leaving only a small portion open to the public. Parking is limited and costs 3 euros per hour. Be sure to avoid the roads outside the beach as parking violations are enforced. Though it may not be suitable for everyone, this beach is perfect for those willing to pay a bit extra for a great experience.

It was not the best experience. The views were barely passable, and the water was murky and choppy. It was packed with people, making it difficult to find any peace and quiet. If you're looking for a place to swim, you'll be hard-pressed to find enough room. Standup and Kayaks for hire, but the prices are outrageous. And the restaurants on the beach are overpriced and not worth the money.

If you want to secure a spot on the beach, it's best to arrive before 9am; after that time it's a bit of a gamble as to whether you'll get a place or not. Parking costs 3 euros per hour.

This place is stunningly beautiful, with great restaurants nearby. It was a bit too crowded for my liking, but still worth a visit. There are showers and toilets available, and it's easy to get to from the parking lot.

The beach was lovely, but it was quite crowded. There were two great restaurants nearby where you could get delicious seafood.
