User reviews
"The beach is really nice and has a lot of sand. The local taverns allow you to use their sunbeds and parasols for free as long as you purchase reasonably priced drinks from them. When we visited, there were big waves, which added to the fun of the day. It's definitely worth visiting this beach if you want some space and sand away from the crowded beaches with sunbeds."
Tim Garrett
"Fodele Beach is a stunning beach that is conveniently located and definitely worth a visit. The beach is made up of soft sand with only a few pebbles near the water's edge, and as you go further in, it's all fine sand with gentle waves. Additionally, there are complimentary sunbeds available near the beachside tavern. If you arrive in the morning, you'll have the opportunity..."
