About
حقائق سريعة: Golden sand funnels into crystal-clear coves where snorkeling reveals seagrass meadows and colorful shoals close enough to touch. Visitors often feel as if they've discovered a private lagoon, because sheltered bays and surrounding volcanic cliffs muffle noise and create calm, turquoise swimming spots.
النقاط البارزة: A crescent of warm, honey-coloured sand about 300 meters long is hugged by ochre volcanic cliffs, while shallow turquoise water warms to roughly 22–24°C in summer and offers 10–15 meters of visibility for spotting tiny silver fish and spiky purple sea urchins. A rough 3.5-kilometre dirt track and a modest €3 parking fee keep crowds small, and locals have a quirky habit of slipping short handwritten notes into rock crevices as tiny time capsules, sometimes found decades later by curious walkers.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy sandals for the short walk from the parking area over uneven ground.
- Head to the viewpoint above the cove for panoramic photos, then descend for golden-sand shots at low tide.
- Walk the shoreline to the quieter right-hand end for better snorkeling and fewer people.
- Bring cash for the car park and small kiosks, and a lightweight sun shelter in summer.
