The beach has a unique triangular shape and spans an area of 170 meters in length and 47 meters in width. During low tides, the beach's landscape changes dramatically, with rocks appearing in the middle and surroundings, and the sand taking on an 'S' shape. This natural phenomenon allows visitors to cross over to another cove. However, it's worth noting that the beach can be quite windy at times.
