Armier Bay

Two connected beaches with beach bars, rentals, and variable conditions—check the wind first and wear water shoes.

  • Sandy
  • Moderately exposed
  • Shallow entry
  • Sunbeds for hire
  • Beach bar

The local verdict

Worth visiting if you time it right with good wind conditions, but it can be unpleasant on wrong-wind days. The beach amenities are convenient if you want food and rentals without leaving the sand.

Wind & sea conditions

Rough in Northeast windRough in North windRough in East windGet out at force 5+

Always check wind direction before going; north wind makes it choppy and unpleasant, while south/southeast wind keeps it calm. On the day, depending on wind conditions, Little Armier may be a better option than the main beach.

Common mistakes

People show up without checking the weather and find rough seas and poor swimming conditions. They also don't realize the two beaches offer different shelter depending on wind direction, and they often don't bring water shoes despite the rocky sections when entering the sea.
