Beach character

The beach's surface is a mix of gravel, concrete slabs, and exposed rock, creating a stark contrast to the typical sandy shores found in tourist-heavy areas. This composition suggests the beach is more suited for casual strolls or sunbathing on flat surfaces rather than swimming. The rocky sections may limit access to the water in some areas, though the 300-meter stretch provides a linear path along the shore. The absence of sand or soft terrain means visitors should expect a more rugged experience, ideal for those seeking solitude or a break from conventional beach settings.
