Entry is free; sunbed sets rent for about 8 euros and the price drops after 15:00. Bring your own umbrella and a picnic, or order lunch from the taverna to have loungers included at no extra charge.

Om
Raske fakta: Two beachfront tavernas keep tables shaded by grapevines that crawl right over the sand. The bay drops off gradually, so swimmers can wade 50 meters out before the water reaches chest height.
Høydepunkter: At the far south end, a rocky ledge doubles as a natural diving platform where locals leap into water glowing turquoise over smooth white pebbles. When the afternoon sea breeze dies down, the surface turns glassy and the pebbles stay visible at chest depth.
Insidertips
- Wear water shoes, the smooth pebbles shift beneath your feet near the waterline.
- Arrive before 10:00 in July and August to claim shade under the tamarisk trees.
- Skip the packed middle bay and swim to the rocky south end for the clearest deep water.
- Order the grilled sardines and cold rosé at the southern taverna, the locals' quiet favorite.
