Beach character
The beach's surface is predominantly composed of small beige pebbles, with no sand or structured amenities. The seabed consists of silt, which may pose challenges for certain water activities. Depth increases gradually, providing a gentle slope that is particularly suitable for children and non-swimmers. The beach's linear shape and modest size (20 meters wide) define its character, contrasting with nearby coves or larger shorelines.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally safe due to the smooth depth gradient, though the silt seabed may reduce visibility for snorkelers. The beach's pebbly shore requires sturdy footwear, as noted by visitors who described the terrain as 'very pebbly' but manageable with beach shoes. Water entertainment options include stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and snorkeling, with some reviewers mentioning the availability of pedalo boats for hire.Facilities and activities
No formal facilities such as showers, restrooms, or parking are documented in the beach's authoritative features. However, activities like SUP, surfing, snorkeling, and general water entertainment are explicitly associated with the site. Visitor accounts mention a protective barrier for swimmers, though this is not listed as an official amenity. The absence of structured amenities aligns with the beach's informal, natural profile.Access and location

The beach is pretty small. The best is to at least get paddle boat or sup and go through the beach canal at the right. It is beautiful.

We stayed for an hour and enjoyed a swim in the sea. There is a protective barrier to keep swimmers safe within it. The beach is very pebbly but if you wear beach shoes it is fine. You can hire pedalo type boats.
