Guide
Good to know
Expect a pebbly beach, not sand
The seabed consists entirely of white pebbles and stones rather than sandy stretches.
Visit in early morning for solitude
The beach remains nearly empty even in August when visited before mid-morning.
Wear water shoes or sturdy footwear
The beach is covered in pebbles and rocks that are uncomfortable and difficult to walk on barefoot.
Check shower facilities before visiting
Showers are reportedly absent or non-functional, forcing visitors to rinse off with seawater or leave dirty.
Watch for seasonal hazards in summer
Jellyfish have been reported washed ashore, and seaweed or dried plants can accumulate along the shoreline.
