Beautiful beach. Turquoise clear water and sand inside and out. We didn't bathe but we enjoyed it. We went one more time but it was crowded. It was the end of July.

The beach is perfect for kids to splash around because it takes a few meters to get into the sea until the water touches their swimming trunks. The beach visually offers a classic South Sea feeling. You can find your spot on the beach or a little further back, protected from the wind, between the rocks. The location of the beach is very unique. At first you can't help but be amazed. Because it impresses you how the mountains frame the sea. There is a pleasant, clear, large parking lot for cars and caravans and a little further there is a smaller parking lot. If you want to park for longer than just splashing around and are looking for a small parking space with a view with your car or caravan, you should definitely find the small parking space about 100m after! You can also spend the night here.
