Rocky beach with 100 stairs down; bring water shoes and expect pricey sunbed rentals.

Sandy

The local verdict

Only worth visiting if you can handle the stairs and don't mind paying premium prices for basic amenities; skip the rentals unless you specifically need them.

Wear swim shoes or water shoes for the rocky entry, locals don't bother with sunbed rentals when there's free space on the sand further back.

Common mistakes

Visitors underestimate the stair descent and arrive unprepared for rocky footing, then feel obligated to rent expensive sunbeds thinking that's the only seating option.
