User reviews
"That place had a mix of light sand and pebbles, making it difficult to enter the sea due to the large stones that were mostly hidden underwater."
Alexa K
"That place is a great find! It's situated in a secluded bay, so it's peaceful and quiet. The sand is light and there are pebbles scattered throughout. The depth of the water is surprisingly deep, making it a great spot for a quick dip or a leisurely swim."
