User reviews
"The beach at the bay is undeniably stunning, although it may not be the easiest to access. The signage can be confusing and often leads visitors to a platform with a beach that doesn't quite offer the full experience. However, we found that approaching the beach from the eastern end of the cove allowed us to fully appreciate its beauty and even make our way down to the water."
Kurochkin Alexei
"The beach is absolutely stunning with its all-sand terrain. Although it can get crowded at times, there are plenty of spots on the rocks to relax and soak up the sun. The two bars that also serve as restaurants are a great addition, and renting umbrellas and sunbeds is a convenient option. Accessing the beach is a breeze, whether you're driving or riding a scooter."
