"it's a dirty beach. by far the worst beach i've ever visited. Someone has to do something about this"
Pedro Valente
"After reading the reviews, I guess this beach can be very hit or miss. We came on a day when the wind was blowing from the South. There was a lot of little plastic bottle caps and scraps, but once we got closer, the beach was clean and the water beautiful!"
Agelika Kocoronis
"Very nice beach. I liked the water very much. A bit wavey but nice. Though windy but Water is warm unlike the beaches in the south of the Islands where water is steady but freezing. A nice restaurant and cafe on the beach with a very nice view but a bit on the high price side"
