The beach is characterized by huge stones and rocks, offering a unique landscape for visitors to explore. Hidden places can be found by climbing the rocks, including a nudist area, pools, and patches of sand nestled between the stones.
The beach is not recommended for small children due to the sharpness of the stones. Visitors are advised to wear swimming shoes for safety.
