The beach is quite popular and tends to get crowded, but if you're seeking a more serene and peaceful environment, I suggest venturing 500 meters southward.

4 Frustrating

The beach was quite disappointing as there were numerous rocks submerged in the water, making it difficult to navigate. Contrary to what I had read in a guide article, it was not impressive at all. Nonetheless, I am currently staying in the northeast and it's quite nice here.

The beach possesses a certain charm that might not make it the most exceptional one on the island, nonetheless, the coastline is ideal for capturing breathtaking photographs and offers a unique experience. Furthermore, there are some delightful eateries located on the beach, adding to the overall appeal of the place.

This is a great spot to grab a drink. The nearby hotel has a fantastic bar that serves delicious fruit shakes. Plus, the view is absolutely stunning.

The shoreline is pleasant, although it doesn't quite measure up to the splendor of other beaches on the island. The highlight of the area is an adjacent isle, which is accessible via a sandy strip of land.
