Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 12 visitors · 2017–2026
Expect seaweed on shore but not in water
Seagrass accumulates at the waterline but clears after a few meters out where visibility is excellent.
Plan for shallow, sheltered water with children
Knee-deep water extends well from shore and waves are minimal, making the cove suitable for young swimmers.
Litter reported
Visitors mention rubbish on the sand.Mentioned by 18 visitors · 2017–2026
Visit outside July and August
Summer crowds overwhelm the small cove, and water quality deteriorates while litter accumulates.
Bring water shoes for rocky bottom
The seabed is stony with uncomfortable grey gravel rather than soft sand underfoot.
