Go in September or October
Summer crowds fill the beach by late morning, but September brings fewer visitors while water remains warm and swimmable.
Rent a sunbed for comfort
The beach is mostly pebbles that compact uncomfortably.
Wear water shoes in the sea
The seafloor is rocky with sharp stones that cause foot pain even when wading.
Expect rocky entry and shallow drop-off
The water drops steeply after a few meters, making it unsuitable for young children and non-swimmers who need gradual depth.
Check for jellyfish before swimming
Jellyfish appear seasonally and can prevent swimming altogether, though reviewers did not report this as a year-round issue.
