I highly recommend this beach, although I suggest avoiding it after 7:00 PM due to the onset of a mosquito invasion.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its pristine sand and spaciousness, making it a delightful spot to relax. It's not overly crowded, which adds to its appeal. However, it's worth noting that there seems to be a shortage of garbage bins available.

Arkum beach offers a peaceful atmosphere as it is situated a short distance from the coast. As we stayed on the premises, our designated area was equipped with its own sun loungers. The ocean exhibits varying levels of waves, ranging from gentle to tranquil. The sand is fine and devoid of any gravel, although there are some stones until it reaches just below knee level. The surrounding area lacks numerous commercial establishments, making it a precious gem untouched by human intervention. Typically, site owners come to enjoy a swim. I would advise against staying during the time when mosquitoes tend to be most active, around 7-8 in the evening during sunset.
