Guide

Good to know

Coarse sand doesn't stick
The sand is medium to coarse-grained, comfortable underfoot, and doesn't cling to skin or clothes.
Excellent for snorkeling
Rocky areas at both ends of the beach and between two rocks near the harbor teem with small.
Arrive by 9am in summer
Parking fills quickly on warm weekends and holiday season, forcing visitors to park uphill and walk.
Water clarity varies by location
The left side of the beach has cleaner, clearer water, while the center sometimes contains debris and floating wood.
Parking costs €1 per 15 minutes
Blue zone parking is metered; the boatyard offers €20 per day or free entry after evening hours.
