The shoreline is marred by litter, consisting of plastics, metals, and numerous shards of glass, posing a potential hazard to visitors. Despite being the sole location on the island where it is permissible to don a bikini, the beach is petite in size. The unappealing black mesh that coats the sand detracts from the overall aesthetic.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is May - air temperature during this time warms up to 29.5°C and water up to 30.5°C in April.
