Guide
Good to know
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 12 visitors · 2016–2026
Ideal for snorkeling and rock pools
Rock formations at both ends of the beach create shallow pools where visitors report seeing fish close to shore.
Visit on weekdays or early morning
Summer weekends see crowds that fill the small parking lot by late morning.
Expect a steep downhill walk
The path from parking to beach descends steeply, making it difficult for people with mobility issues or those pushing strollers.
Bring cash for rentals
Umbrellas and sun loungers cost six to eight euros each, and some reviewers report limited card payment options.
