User reviews
"This beach is truly exceptional and offers a wonderful swimming experience. However, it is important to note that shade is limited, so it is advisable to bring an umbrella for protection from the sun. Additionally, there is no beach bar available, so it is recommended to bring your own water to stay hydrated."
Jacek Nowakowski
"This stunning beach has pristine, transparent waters and is surrounded by lush greenery. It can be reached via a dirt road or a leisurely 20-minute stroll from the island's port. Despite its natural beauty, there are no commercial establishments to detract from the tranquil atmosphere."
