Beach character
The beach's surface consists of gravel and concrete/stone slabs, creating a distinct texture compared to typical sandy shores. This configuration may appeal to those seeking a more rugged or utilitarian coastal experience. The area is marked by its 15-meter stretch, which accommodates a range of activities despite its limited length. Notably, the beach is not described as having natural features like sand, rock formations, or aquatic vegetation, focusing instead on constructed and recreational elements.Swimming and shore
There is no explicit mention of swimming facilities, water depth, or shoreline conditions in the beach's authoritative data. The absence of structured natural features suggests that the primary appeal of this location lies outside aquatic activities, with the shore serving more as a transitional space between land-based amenities and the sea.Facilities and activities
The beach is associated with several land-based facilities, including a restaurant/snack bar and a caffe bar/drinks stand, which provide refreshments for visitors. Sports infrastructure is a key feature, with a football pitch and courts for basketball and handball. These facilities indicate the area's focus on community and recreational activities, though there is no indication of equipment rental or organized sports programs.Access and location
