Its natural beauty is enhanced by the picturesque setting of small white fishing huts and pine forests reaching the sea. The beach is primarily composed of stones and is known for its moderate waves and clear waters. Despite its appealing attributes, the beach can be challenging to access due to the rocky entrance and lacks facilities for disabled individuals.
