Guide
Good to know
Excellent for snorkeling near shore
Crystal clear water and rocky seabed attract fish, octopus, and coral visible from shallow depths.
Visit September or off-season
The beach stays uncrowded even in summer, but reviewers note September offers solitude and calm conditions.
Wear water shoes on pebbles
The beach is entirely pebbly with rocks in the water, making barefoot walking uncomfortable for most visitors.
Water deepens sharply from shore
The seabed drops steeply just a few meters out, so young non-swimmers need close supervision.
Free parking lot may close gates
The dirt parking area is private; one visitor reported being locked in with no official help or compensation.
