"Be careful with jelly fish. The sea is stunning but jellyfishes are dangerous. I got stung. Also one kid and 4-5 adult were stung by jellyfish."
Jul 14, 2026"Small, beautiful bay Very clean, clear water. The entry into the water is rocky, there's no sand, so water shoes are highly recommended. Parking is available nearby."
Jul 13, 2026"Look out for rip ties when it it windy towards the beach. If you google you can see there has been incidents. A must is to have aqua shoes. Snorkling friendly with a lot of fish. Free parking above the beach. Restaurants close by with nice view over the bay."
Jul 12, 2026"If you want to lie side-by-side during peak season, without showers or toilets… this stretch of beach is perfect for you. Not recommended… the edited photos of crystal-clear water online are no consolation."
