User reviews
"This beach is a paradise - the water is crystal clear and inviting. There are some amazing rocks reaching up to 2.5-3m in the area, perfect for diving. On top of that, the beach isn't overcrowded, so you can really relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. I visited in September 2018 and it was the perfect spot for a peaceful day."

"The bay here is great, and although the beach is made up of mostly small pebbles, there are plenty of great rocks to jump off of into the amazing water."
