Narrow streets to get there and difficult to park. Dark beach with dark Sands but with a nice view, specially at sunset but all beaches are lovely at sunset. Don't try to go into the water. Strong currents and with lots of loose rocks that hit you in your feet. I tried to get into the water, was hit on my right foot and was injured. I returned many times to this beach as it was the closest to home but never more tried to get into the water. It is also a bit depressing with no places to eat, snack or drink close buy and with lot's of not so well kept houses. Also a lot of noise from the people in the beach. It is not quiet. Be careful when driving there, streets are narrow and with sharp turns. To sum it up, park the car, go outside and leave. You see it in 5minutes and that is it. Don't waste your time spending an entire day there because you...

STUNNING beach with dark volcanic sand. It is at the very end of the island but I definitely recommend you to visit it.

• Be carefull because there can be really BIG WAVES and entrance in the sea is steep from the begining. There are some big rocks and you can get easily hurt if the waves are too strong. Even though there are LIFEGUARDS during the day, bathing is NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. But you can enjoy the walk, view, playing in sand.

• FOOD - you can find two stands with snacks on which you can find juices, ice cream or fast food. Unfortunately you can't find many vegetarian / vegan options except ice cream.

• It is very clean WITHOUT PLASTIC

• You can find PARKING near the beach but get there in the morning when there are more free lots

• There is no place to order an parasol so bring sun cream...
