Guide
Good to know
Arrive early for parking and peace
Free parking is available but the beach stays quiet mainly when visitors are sparse, especially outside summer months.
Go for snorkeling and clear water
The cove offers crystal-clear water and calm conditions ideal for seeing fish, though seaweed and visibility vary by visit.
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2017–2026
Bring water shoes without fail
The beach is almost entirely rocky with submerged stones that make entry difficult and potentially painful even with footwear.
Visit outside peak season
During summer when hotels are full, sewage treatment can fail and raw sewage flows into the stream.
Expect minimal sand and sunbed fees
The beach has almost no sand and sunbeds rent for 12 to 16 euros per day.
