Guide
Good to know
Shallow water for children and snorkeling
The cove slopes gradually with fine sand underwater, making it suitable for wading and exploring sea life.
Arrive early in summer
The cove fits only about ten people, so spots fill quickly on warm weekends and peak season.
Avoid windy days for swimming
Wind makes swimming difficult and stirs up stones in the water, degrading the experience.
Wear sturdy footwear for access
The path down is steep and narrow, with loose ground that requires appropriate shoes, not flip-flops.
