The three bays fan out beautifully: one reaching toward the west, another extending southwest, and the third stretching southeast. This unique formation creates a wonderfully sheltered beach area that feels like a hidden paradise. The soft sands invite you to kick off your shoes and let your toes sink in, while the gentle waves whisper stories of the sea. It's the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and let the sun kiss your skin. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely swim or simply lounging with a good book, this beach offers the ideal backdrop for a perfect day. Plus, the surrounding area is dotted with quaint cafes and local eateries where you can indulge in fresh seafood and refreshing drinks.
