This beach sits below steep cliffs .[3] There is a length of fine sand which runs in an east-north-east direction. Very often there are strong sea breezes which head on to the beach. At the southern end of the beach there is a small cove with a satellite beach, accessed by a short swim. In the summer the beach is popular with families and is also a popular nudist spot. The waters are clean and safe for swimming. Along the near shore there are several rocky outcrops, providing an environment for snorkelling. The beach has a restaurant and a beach bar.
