This is a really nice beach which is accessible by bus and car, followed by a short (5 to 10 minute) walk. Keep in mind it's a steep climb down so the way back up can be tricky. Nevertheless, there were quite a few families with children (which to be honest I found impressive considering the climb).
A small but of advice, don't stay on the sandy bit as soon as you get on the beach. Walk to the end of the beach, to the left if you're facing the sea and past the cave. You'll need to take your shoes off to avoid them getting wet.

It was also a lot cooler and there were some shady spots in the afternoon.
If you're coming by bus keep in mind the timings. If you miss the 3 o clock bus, then you're stuck there til 9pm, so it's a good idea to keep a taxi driver's number on you...

If you like nature more than comfort hotels, you should...

But the path is not well indicated we took a wrong turn down a rock wall which we had to climb back up to return to the path. Arriving there we found a very odd beach, with no sand and covered in a layer of dead seaweed which smelled like sewer. The views are nice but the place is definitely not worth it, we left...
