The beach is absolutely stunning, with soft sand that gradually turns into pebbles as the tide recedes. However, reaching the beach might be a bit of a challenge as it involves a steep descent from the carpark, which could be a problem for young ones. Nonetheless, the breathtaking views make it all worth it.
