This family-friendly beach is a perfect spot for a day out with your loved ones. The atmosphere is peaceful, with no loud music or rowdy crowds. You may spot a few young couples later in the day, but the majority of visitors are families. The water is cool and shallow, making it a safe spot for children to splash around. If you venture further out, you'll find good snorkeling spots. As you enter the beach, you'll come across some lovely restaurants right on the water. Additionally, there are two beach bars with free seats and umbrellas. Thanks to the cove protecting the beach, there is usually no wind, with only a gentle breeze most days. The prices at the beach bars are reasonable, with an orangeade costing 2.50€ and a frappe 4€. You can also find sandwiches, snacks, and ice cream, but don't expect a full meal. Overall, this beach is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing day with your family.
