Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Plage de la Mitre for its stunningly clear water, peaceful atmosphere, and unique rocky beauty, offering a serene escape.

"Lovely spot with crystal-clear water and a peaceful atmosphere.
Not crowded at all. Bring your own water and snacks – no facilities nearby."
Andi Dushku
"Its a nice beach, there are many rocks. Feels private, intimate (but its a public beach), because its a little bit hidden.
Unfortunately you can not see the sunset from there"
Tobi Bück
"Nice little beach.
I thought it would be a little bit bigger, and they also gave quite small area for swimming (I guess because of the boats around).
But because of its size, it is calm and friendly. Good for relax. Nevertheless, the natural formation of the rocks makes the place unique."
