Located just a short 3-minute stroll away from the local shops, this cozy and secluded beach is a true gem. Despite the recent wind damage that affected the island, we were lucky enough to visit twice and enjoy the calm waters of this small cove. Unlike other beaches, this one boasts fine pebbles instead of sand, adding a unique touch to the overall experience. The absence of waves made swimming a delight, and we were pleasantly surprised to find free sunbeds provided by the municipality. To make the most of this hidden paradise, we recommend arriving before 11 am to secure a spot.
