Beach character
The beach's defining feature is its cove shape, with a width of 20 meters that narrows toward the headland. The pebble-covered shore extends for most of the 650-meter length, though a small sandy section appears near the water's edge in some areas. The surrounding landscape is dominated by rugged mountains that rise steeply from the shoreline, creating a dramatic backdrop. The sea floor is composed of pebbles, with a moderate depth increase that avoids sudden changes, making it suitable for both swimmers and divers. The beach's orientation within the natural curve of the coastline provides some shelter from direct winds, though occasional waves from the open sea reach the shore.Swimming and shore
The pebble-covered shoreline creates a unique swimming experience, with the beach's moderate depth gradient allowing swimmers to wade gradually into deeper waters. Snorkeling is particularly popular here, with visitors frequently noting the vibrant marine life and clear visibility. The sea floor's pebble composition creates a textured surface that some find comfortable for walking, though others prefer the limited sandy patches near the water's edge. The beach's sheltered position within the cove contributes to calmer waters compared to more exposed nearby shores, though conditions can vary with tidal patterns.Facilities and activities
While no formal amenities are listed, the beach is explicitly noted as pet-friendly, with designated areas for dogs identified by information signs. The activities available include diving, kayaking, snorkeling, and general water entertainment. The absence of structured facilities means visitors should bring their own equipment for these activities. The beach's natural features make it particularly well-suited for snorkeling, with reviews frequently highlighting the abundance of marine life visible in the clear waters.Access and location

Beautiful quiet beach, it feels tropical. Clear water, great for snorkeling, lots of fish. Parking is limited, on the side of the road. From there the walk is a bit steep but only 5 minutes.
