User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning and secluded, definitely worth the one-hour hike to get there. The water is crystal clear and calm, making it the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. However, it's important to note that the hike back is uphill and requires some effort, so it may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. Alternatively, it can be accessed by car."

"Zarakon is a lovely and peaceful small beach, with only a few scattered pieces of plastic here and there. The shore is mostly free of stones, making it a great spot to relax and soak up the sun."
