This beach is great for walking and photography. The sand is so white that it is eye-catching. However, it is not very suitable for swimming. The water does not get deeper no matter how far you go.

I spent a few days in mid-April. This beach has very warm water and has many rays. Of the entire island, the best beach is Anse Lazio.
