Guide
Good to know
Expect shallow, clear water for snorkeling
Multiple visitors report exceptionally clear water, colorful rocky seabed and abundant fish, making it excellent for snorkeling.
Part of nudist area, mostly naturist
Most of the beach is designated for nudists, though textile swimmers also use it without reported conflict.
Visit on weekday mornings in summer
One reviewer arriving at 7am on a weekday found the beach entirely empty; another noted mid-October had very few people.
Plan for 30-minute walk minimum
Parking is 20 to 45 minutes away on foot, with the coastal path offering better views than the road route.
Bring all food and water
No beach bar or facilities exist, so carry everything you need including plenty of drinking water.
