This beach is great for families with young children as they can play and swim close to the shore. The water doesn't get deeper for about 50-60 meters, and in that area, it's quite warm. However, beyond that point, it starts to get cold. Another exciting feature is that you can swim to a small island, and along the way, you'll get to see various underwater creatures.

Unfortunately, this beautiful spot has already started to suffer from litter left behind by so-called daily vacationers. Even though the dirt road offers some protection, concerns about its future are warranted.
