Water
3= Very nice and clean sea. We would go
swimming there again if we were in the area
(These are my, and my family's own unscientific observations of
the water feel and appearance)
We enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead of
warm. We don' like visible floating particles of any kind or algae
settled on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is common
Access
Good=paved road all the way to the beach, parking near the
beach
The small beach at the Northern end beyond the marina (photo below)
requires some walking to get to.

Snorkeling

Notes
The beach is right next to the main road of town which is very
narrow, and does not have much traffic. Finding parking there
might be impossible, but there is a parking lot at the southern
end of the town. This too gets packed with cars in the summer,
and so do the surrounding streets. I saw many cars trying to maneuverS
in a tiny spaces as they drove back and forth trying to find as
parking spot.
A large camping ground occupies an olive grove at the southern
end, and it too was packed when we visited in July.
Just beyond the northern end of the town, a footpath
over the headland (around the marina) will bring you to a nicer,
and more quiet beach (picture bellow) that attracts a younger
crowd.
