Beach character
The beach's composition of gravel and stone slabs defines its character, offering a rugged contrast to softer sand beaches. The 100-meter length is suitable for small groups or solitary strolls. Natural shade from surrounding vegetation reduces direct sun exposure, though visitors should still take standard sun protection measures. The absence of artificial structures preserves the beach's natural aesthetic, though the surface may be less comfortable for barefoot walking.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are not explicitly documented, but the gravel and stone slabs suggest the shoreline is more suited to wading than swimming. The beach's natural topography may create uneven entry points into the water. The shore's firm surface is ideal for those seeking a stable base for sunbathing or picnicking, though it lacks the softness of traditional sandy beaches.Facilities and activities
The primary facility is a caffe bar/drinks stand, offering basic refreshments. No structured activities are listed, but the beach's quiet setting invites passive recreation such as reading, photography, or leisurely walks along the shore. The lack of additional amenities means visitors should bring their own supplies for extended stays.Access and location

Visitors should expect a gravel and stone slab shoreline with limited facilities. The 100-meter stretch offers space for small groups, with natural shade from nearby vegetation. A caffe bar provides basic refreshments, but no additional amenities are available. The beach's character is defined by its natural materials and lack of artificial development, making it a low-key destination for those seeking solitude or a quiet coastal experience.Practical tips
