Guide
Good to know
Visit for snorkeling, not sunbathing
The rocky seabed and seagrass attract abundant marine life, making this exceptional for snorkeling rather than lounging on sand.
Expect stones underfoot, not sand
The beach is pebbles and rocks with a rocky bottom, not soft sand, so water shoes help.
Go outside summer weekends
Reviewers report the cove gets very crowded in summer, especially on weekends when locals arrive.
Check conditions after heavy waves
Seaweed and algae accumulate during rough sea conditions, reducing water clarity and comfort.
