This lovely spot is a bit off the beaten path and can only be reached by car or quad. If you're up for the adventure, I highly recommend taking a quad as the terrain can be quite rugged. Be prepared for a bit of dust, so it's best to leave your fancy clothes at home. The beach itself is small but charming, with a peaceful atmosphere and not too many people around. While there are no designated sunbeds, you might be lucky enough to find a spot on the small bridge for a bit of relaxation. Overall, it's a great spot for those who love to explore and want to enjoy a free activity.
