This beach has a very small public area. Parking is available but a bit difficult on the tiny street leading to the beach. There are some people offering sunbeds, umbrellas, jetskis for decent prices. Surely better than Cabbage Beach. But the beach is still mediocre at best if you have been to good beaches around the world

Very, very beautiful, but I wish toilets were distributed on the beaches so that they would be more beautiful places.

Very calm and relaxing space to be in, the beach is beautiful and sand feels great. Not much shade but worth the visit. The birds add to the aesthetics.
