This beach is truly incredible and hidden away from the usual tourist spots. It's just a quick stroll from the parking area. The dunes are absolutely beautiful, and during low tide, you can take a leisurely walk to the headland in the center of the beach to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view. The rocks along the shore are also stunning with their vibrant colors. I highly recommend visiting this beach.

The beach was absolutely amazing, with its pristine sand and crystal-clear blue waters. We decided to visit during the late afternoon in November, and it was truly breathtaking to witness the stunning sunset. There was a conveniently located small parking area right by the beach.

The beach is absolutely amazing for walking and playing, with numerous spots to seek shelter from the wind among the rocks and ample open sand to run and play on. The water is crystal clear and, thanks to the bay's flatness, children can safely walk out quite far. It's a fantastic destination for a picturesque solo stroll or a family outing.
