Is there parking at the beach?

No dedicated parking exists; visitors park along the road, but police issue fines for parking on the sidewalk.

Are there toilets or refreshments?

No. There are no toilets, changing rooms, or food/drink options, only a couple of trash cans, so bring your own supplies.

Is it good for families?

It can suit families thanks to the gradual sea entry, but the walk in is hard with a stroller and there are no facilities.

Is it sandy or rocky?

It's mixed — roughly half sandy and half rocky with pebbles; sea urchins gather around the rocky parts.

Access is on foot, roughly 300m from the road via a footpath through an olive grove.
