User reviews
"Ah, the small and oh-so-popular stone beach. It's a real gem, folks. Sure, it's usually packed tighter than a sardine can, but don't let that deter you from taking a dip in the crystal clear waters. And if you're feeling adventurous, grab your snorkel gear and prepare for an underwater adventure like no other. Trust me, it's worth the visit."
Adam Johnson
"Although the beach has some drawbacks such as limited sandy areas for laying down your towel in the shade, expensive chair rentals, and inconvenient stairs, it is still a great spot for swimming. Additionally, the sand is light and there are pebbles present. However, there is also a pee shower available."
