User reviews
"This beach is absolutely stunning with its serene atmosphere and stunning shades of blue in the sea. The Gaidaros Canteen is a great spot to grab a drink and take in the views. What's even better is that it's easily accessible and not too crowded, even during peak season. Plus, there are plenty of tents available for those looking to camp out."
Theo Ridgeley
"The spot is fantastic and stands out from other beaches on the island due to its peaceful atmosphere. The food and drinks are all excellent and reasonably priced. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling, and the beach is made up of small pebbles, so it's ideal to wear water shoes. The beach bar has a relaxed and chill atmosphere, and there is a great selection..."
