User reviews
"The beach is certainly beautiful and enjoyable, but it's lacking a certain charm. There's a temporary play area for kids during the summer. While the beach is clean, it's not exactly a hidden gem, so if you're seeking a secluded spot away from the crowds, I'd recommend checking out other nearby coves and beaches."
Sarina L
"The beach is made up of rocks and stones, but the water is crystal clear. Despite its small size, there is always some space as there is hardly any waves. During peak season, there is a good number of tourists. Additionally, there is a pathway on the left side that leads to the rocks and goes under a bridge."
